21 Consequences of FMD Incidence 1-In general FMD occurrence is a mild infection but: Milk production: decrease estimated to 30%. Meat production: decrease estimated of 10 % (Lebanon is an importing country for meat). FMD abortions are negligible.

22 Surveillance and Control Progress Strict control on imports. Strict implementation of vaccination programs. Notification. Implication of human resources: (recruitment, training, etc ) Extension program to farmers and producers. Updating legislations

23 Transparency and commitment for FMD Control Notification to OIE. Computerized information system. Storing of FMD data and Lab results. Sharing information with neighboring (Syria and Jordan) and regional countries (OIE Regional Commission for the Middle East), and exporting countries. Risk hot spots identified.
