Regulatory process Consultation: Draft VKM order for CWD after discovery on the Hardangervidda in 2020

Regulatory process Consultation: Draft VKM order for CWD after discovery on the Hardangervidda in 2020 

Published 29.09.2020 Last changed 29.09.2020 Print

Scrapie (CWD) has been detected in a wild reindeer buck on the Hardangervidda. The diagnosis was made on 10.9.2020. The disease has previously been detected in the Nordfjella wild reindeer area, and VKM has prepared several reports in that connection.

In the wake of the new detection on the Hardangervidda, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority and the Norwegian Environment Agency need an assessment regarding updated knowledge about the disease and risk factors for the spread of the disease inside and out of the wild reindeer area etc.

Since it is urgent to get answers to some questions, we have chosen to divide the assignment into two phases. Attached is the mandate for the order of phase 1 on scrapie from the Norwegian Environment Agency and the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. Key words for questions in phase 2 are food safety, game management, etc. We will return to this.

Timeline for this work: Consultation of VKM order Before the final order is sent, we want input on the draft order for a new assessment
