Malta fails to regain TB-free status for its cows

Malta fails to regain TB-free status for its cows 07.08.2026

Malta has been unable to regain its official disease-free status for bovine tuberculosis following a European Commission audit that found its eradication efforts are insufficient. The country was first declared free of the disease in March 2016, but this status was suspended after an outbreak was confirmed in November 2017, and officially withdrawn in May 2018. The latest audit, conducted by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety (DG SANTE) between 13 and 18 March 2026, concluded that Malta lacks the "sufficient and reliable epidemiological data" to demonstrate that infection with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) has been eliminated.
