Projet de loi relative à la vaccination obligatoire contre la langue bleue et le MHE.

This is a Belgian government bill, introduced in the Chamber of Representatives, that would make vaccination against bluetongue (langue bleue) and epizootic haemorrhagic disease (MHE) mandatory. Both are viral diseases that affect ruminants such as cattle, sheep and goats. The bill aims to limit the spread of these animal diseases, which can cause serious losses in livestock herds and trade restrictions. Livestock farmers and owners of cattle, sheep and goats in Belgium would be most directly affected, as they would be required to vaccinate their animals. Veterinarians and public animal health authorities may also have roles in implementing the obligation. The subject tag is economic policy, suggesting a focus on the agricultural economy.
