Sergei Dankvert Quotations

Last year the virus affected 62 towns in 10 Russian regions, while since the start of 2006, already 56 towns in nine regions have been affected.

But we believe this is a longer route.

Thus, the decision to restrict trade was made.

We forecast that bird flu mutation is possible in the countries where the number of different viruses is high. This group includes the United States.

We have started this work at the beginning of last year -- since then, we have inspected Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Chile. And now we are working with Colombia and Bolivia, and we expect to allow some companies from these countries to start trading with us.

As of today, we still believe that Polish colleagues are incapable of reversing the situation with irregularities in supplies of products from Poland.

The panic has been so great that the number of requests for vaccines to be sent to regions has begun to grow in geometric progression.

It means that we have discovered a stable channel of illegal imports, and ... we told the Polish vet about it.

This is very realistic. We may be almost certain this will happen after this strain is found in Great Britain, before autumn, as migrating birds carry it to the United States from here.
