SafeGuard. Work package 1.6 Towards one economic livestock production Euregio Nederland-Nordrhein-Westfalen-Niedersachsen
Project
Project code: keine Angabe
Contract period: 01.01.2008
- 31.12.2013
Purpose of research: Applied research
The combined region of the Netherlands-Nordrhein-Westfalen-Niedersachsen is
one large production area of livestock products. With a combined population
of 40-45 million people, the region is also an enormous area of consumption.
Both production and consumption have a strong transnational character which
will only increase in the next years. There is clearly interdependence, in socalled
‘normal’ (meaning disease-free) circumstances as well as in the case of
outbreaks of contagious animal diseases.
Yet in spite of this, borders still exist, namely between the Netherlands and
Nordrhein-Westfalen-Niedersachsen. The goal of this research was to investigate
the economic potential of removing these borders. In doing so, we reviewed two
specific situations that offer the best prospects in the short and medium term:
(1) the routine situation and (2) situations involving contagious animal diseases.
