In partnership with the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE) and the French Presidency, the Health and Consumers Directorate-General of the European Commission have organized the first European Veterinary Week, November 10-16, 2008. This event will bring together different stakeholders from the animal health field to discuss best practices for implementing biosecurity measures at borders and on-farm to prevent and limit the spread of disease. The week will also focus on encouraging cooperation and partnerships between farmers, veterinarians, and the general public to realize an effective biosecurity approach.
