    HONG KONG, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- The Center for Food Safety of Hong Kong announced Wednesday that the processing of applications for importing poultry meat and poultry products from the whole United Kingdom is now back to normal.

    "In view of the control measures taken by Oxfordshire and Warwickshire counties and the fact that there are no other cases of avian influenza reported, we decide to resume processing of applications," a spokesman for the Center said.

    The Center suspended processing of applications from Oxfordshire and Warwickshire counties following confirmation of highly pathogenic avian influenza H7 cases in poultry farms in June this year.
