Polish Agriculture Minister Krzysztof Jurgiel met in Warsaw with European Commissioner for health and food safety Vytenis Andriukaitis and the ministers for agriculture and veterinary services of Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and the bloc’s member states.

After the meeting, Jurgiel said that work on a new law to regulate the fence's construction was underway. "We assume the possible construction [of the fence] should start in September," he said adding that the time frame depended on tender procedures.

Andriukaitis said that European Union countries are to fight the disease by stepping up border controls, hunting practices and boar population control.
