FAST Reports
The FAST quarterly report of significant events provides relevant and regular risk information to risk managers operating in EuFMD Member Nations and neighboring countries. The constant monitoring of the epidemiological situation as well as the information obtained from control and surveillance strategies in the European neighbourhood can contribute to increase awareness on major animal disease threats for Europe and the regions of North Africa, Middle East and South East European Neighbourhood.
