    Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis. Executive Summary
    CCLME. Protection of the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem Project
    2016
    Also available in:
    Countries of the CCLME region have unanimously identified the decline of living marine resources (fish, fisheries resources and marine species of conservation concern) as the most important transboundary worry. This is in view of the exceptional socioeconomic importance of fisheries to the region, and as a source of food for West Africa and beyond. The TDA analyses each transboundary concern, identifies its cause, impact on the LME and its socioeconomic consequences. A number of solutions are pr oposed for each concern. These solutions lay the groundwork for the Strategic Action Programme.

    BSE as a National and Trans-Boundary Food Safety Emergency 2002
    Also available in:
    A new cattle disease, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) was first identified in 1986. This belongs to a group of diseases known as a Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE). Although initially the infective agent for BSE was not thought to be capable of infecting humans, there is now evidence to suggest that BSE and a variant of the human TSE, Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease (vCJD), are the same infective agent. These diseases are invariably fatal. The agent that causes BSE is extrem ely resistant to the controls that would normally kill infectious agents such as bacteria and viruses, including cooking. Normal food hygiene measures are therefore ineffective against BSE. The only effective control in relation to human health is therefore to remove the infective agent from the food chain.
