EU veterinary experts meet in wake of bird flu outbreak

European Union veterinary experts are holding talks today to assess public and animal safety measures taken by British health officials in wake of an outbreak of bird flu on a turkey farm.

The 27 national experts were not expected to take added measures at this time officials said, after the European Commission said they were satisfied with the quick actions taken by Britain over the weekend to contain the virus, which health experts have already identified as the deadly H5N1 strain.
