EU Agriculture Commissioner Christophe Hansen called for caution on Thursday after a second suspected outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in livestock was reported in eastern Germany. A first outbreak at a water buffalo farm near Berlin last week has led to widespread culling and some trade restrictions.

Germany’s agriculture ministry said on Wednesday it expects meat and dairy product exports to the European Union to continue despite a case of the foot-and-mouth disease affecting livestock being confirmed last week.
