HONG KONG, May 30 (Xinhua) -- The Center for Food Safety of Hong Kong announced Wednesday that the processing of applications for importing poultry and poultry products from the Republic of Hungary would resume with immediate effect.

    The center suspended processing of applications from the Republic of Hungary following confirmation of an outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5 in a poultry farm in the country in January.

    "In view of the control measures taken by the Republic of Hungary and the fact that there are no other cases of avian influenza reported in the country, we decide to resume processing of applications," a spokesman for the center said.
