About this statute

This part is the preamble of Law 1255 of 2008 and states its purpose: to declare a national social and sanitary priority for programs to keep Colombia free of avian influenza and to control and eradicate Newcastle disease, while strengthening the national poultry sector. The article declares preserving a country free of avian influenza and controlling and eradicating Newcastle disease to be a matter of national social interest and a public health priority. The Program’s physical, technical, technological, and organizational operation should be guided by concertation and co-management between the public and private sectors. La Comisión Nacional Avícola debe recomendar que ciertos entes públicos y privados incluyan actividades de prevención y control de influenza aviar y erradicación del Newcastle en sus planes de desarrollo e inversión. Las personas funcionarias de entidades públicas y privadas vinculadas al sector aviar deben notificar sospechas de influenza aviar o Newcastle; la autoridad pública competente consolida esa información y la usa como base para medidas sanitarias.
