It is mandatory that the owners of the animals present the vaccination certificate correspondingly, current and signed by an official or accredited veterinarian, if they intended to mobilize or sell pigs or products thereof, or any other situation that requires the authority to certify that the animals have been vaccinated.

The Executive Committee for the Control and Eradication of Classic Swine Fever (PPC) is created. The Commission will work with the ultimate goal of eradicating PPC national territory, obtain recognition of status and maintain free country proper surveillance to keep this status.
