In July 2007, following years of campaigning by NGOs and outbreaks of avian flu, the European Union (EU) halted the importation of all wild birds with a permanent ban on their import.
Despois de anos de campañas feitas por moitas ONGs e os gromos de gripe aviaria, en xullo de 2007, a Unión Europea prohibiu permanentemente a importación de todas as aves silvestres.
