European Vets Hold Crisis Meeting
Veterinary experts from the European Commission will meet today to decide what emergency measures to take to stop the spread of bird flu.
After outbreaks in Romania and Turkey they may order that poultry in risk areas must be kept in doors.
The EU may order poultry to be kept indoors in order to avoid it coming into contact with migratory wild birds.
Results on birds from Romania are due today as scientists wait to see if they were infected with the same H5N1 strain identified in Turkey.
