    The Egyptian government intends to activate a law regulating the circulation and sale of live poultry, issued in 2009 following the spread of bird flu, and includes banning the slaughter of live birds outside the massacres or transfer without permission from the Department of Veterinary Medicine.
    The government's procedures to enforce the law include the deployment of police ambushes in which veterinarians are present to ensure that there are official permits to transport birds and free of flu.
    In the following presentation, Al-Shorouq answers the most important questions about this law:
    When was the law passed?
    The law was passed in May 2009 following the entry of bird flu to Egypt in 2006 to regulate the circulation of live birds and prevent the spread of the bird flu virus.
    What is the law?
    The law prohibits the slaughter of poultry outside the massacres, or transfer without obtaining permission from the Veterinary Administration after examination and prove the absence of birds from the flu.
    The government's goal of implementing the law?
    The government says the goal is to prevent environmental pollution, spread diseases and get rid of bird flu in Egypt, which can not be achieved with the continued circulation of live birds and transfer to markets without examination and slaughter outside the massacres.
    "The virus dominates the bowels of birds, and when they are slaughtered in shops and cleaned, the guts are given as waste and this helps spread bird flu," said Dr. Mona Mehrez, deputy minister of agriculture for livestock, poultry and fish.
    How will poultry trade if?
    The birds will be transferred from the farms or shops to the official massacres for slaughter and then distributed refrigerated or frozen on the shops to market and sell to citizens.

    The sale of live birds is supposed to end, and the government will provide them with soft loans to transfer their activity to poultry shops and frozen meat and buy the necessary refrigerators.
    What areas will the law apply to?
    The law will be applied first to the governorates of Cairo and Giza as the largest provinces consumption of poultry by 30%, will prevent the entry of live birds to them only with the permission of veterinary medicine and massacres only for slaughter, while the law will be applied to the province of Alexandria and provincial capitals in later stages before applying it to full Areas of the Republic.
    What is required to transport birds for producers and farm owners?
    It is prohibited to transport birds without obtaining a permit from the Veterinary Administration after examining a sample of farm birds in the central laboratory, and will be deployed ambushes on the roads, where there are veterinarians to ensure that carriers carry these permits.
    What are the penalties for violators?
    The penalties range from the arrest of the car to the first time, the arrest and closure of the shop the second time, the arrest, the fine and the imprisonment for the third time, said Dr. Abdel Aziz al-Sayed, head of the poultry division of Cairo Chamber of Commerce.
    Article 3 of the law provides that without prejudice to any more severe punishment provided for in any other law, the violator shall be punished by imprisonment for a term of not less than six months and a fine of not less than one thousand pounds and not more than ten thousand pounds or one of the two penalties.
