Government response and exports
Speaking on Tuesday before entering a UN-sponsored meeting in the buffer zone with Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman, Christodoulides said Veterinary Services had taken measures in December when the disease first appeared in the north.
Claim of illegal activities
He added that, since then, it appeared there were certain illegal activities which led to the spread of the disease.
