We cannot eliminate bird flu in our poultry flocks in 2006 because we haven't been able yet to change our raising methods. Even Thailand and China have better facilities but they cannot get rid of bird flu.

We still cannot say whether the epidemic situation is better or worse this year, as the climax of the epidemic often occurs in January and February.

I think our success is only temporary. We are now still worried about a recurrence of outbreaks. Now it is too early to say that we have already controlled this disease.
