The Commission does not want to Finance a fence from Achs.
The European Commission has doubts about the need for the construction of a fence along the Eastern border of Poland. The fence would be to protect the country from African swine fever, but officials from Brussels believe that the effectiveness of the above decision would be negligible.

It was assumed that a fence should be more than 700 km in length and its construction cost will be about 150 million zlotys. The Minister of agriculture of Poland Krzysztof Yurgel expected that the amount of that manage to get out of the EU, however, as established in the Polish media, the European Commission believes that "the meaning of the construction of fencing along the border between the two countries seems doubtful". Skepticism of European officials fueled by the lack of scientific data about the effectiveness of the fence in the fight against ASF.

The Polish Ministry of agriculture considers this project a priority, as, in his opinion, diseased animals with Ukraine and Belarus lead to the spread of the virus in Poland. However, colleagues from the Ministry of the environment are of the opinion, close to the position of the European Commission: the construction of the fence is an internal affair of Poland, which can be solved without the participation of Brussels.

The inconsistency of the positions of the two Polish agencies on the issue of countering the spread of African swine fever occurs not for the first time. Previously, the Ministry took the opposite position in relation to the mass shooting of wild boars: Ministry of agriculture insisted on it, and the Ministry of environment was against it. The representatives of Polish farmers ' trade unions for is openly accused officials of "the Western lobbyists who benefit from the elimination of pig farming in Poland."

Active promotion of the virus in Poland is still forced to resort to measures increasing the pace of reducing the number of wild pigs. Now the situation could be repeated, because the number of reported cases of ASF among wild boars in Poland is growing rapidly - only in February, they registered 149.
