EU considers farm disease rethink

The UK will press for a debate on the eradication of foot-and-mouth disease at a major European Union conference in Brussels. The two-day conference, involving more than 400 politicians, officials and experts, is a response to growing pressure for a re-think of the way the disease is handled in Europe.
