The coordination between the Bulgarian and the Turkish veterinary offices is good, Commissioner Andriukaitis pointed out. Vytenis Andriukaitis gave a special briefing to Bulgarian journalists over the outbreaks of ovine rinderpest in this country. Commissioner Andriukaitis denied the rumors that the outbreak of goat and sheep plague was a result of bioterrorism. The people must realize that many illnesses are linked with the climate changes, Commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis said.
