BRUSSELS - European Union veterinary experts will review an EU ban on British exports of fresh meat, live animals and milk products imposed on Wednesday at a meeting next week, a European Commission official said.

"They will meet next week, most likely Tuesday to review the situation," the official said.

A ban on all British exports of fresh meat, live animals and milk products, excluding Northern Ireland, was put in place following a confirmed outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in the southern part of England on Wednesday.
