Excerpt:
"European Union veterinary experts agreed on Thursday to let all of Britain, except part of the county of Surrey, resume exports of live animals, meat and dairy products to other EU countries, the EU executive said.

The vets, representing the EU's 27 member countries, backed a European Commission proposal to limit export restrictions to a surveillance zone in Surrey, 10 km around the area where two outbreaks of foot and mouth disease were confirmed this month."
