Why Mallorca is tightening controls on pig transports — and what really matters now

Answer

What extra steps should Mallorca take besides checking pig transports?

Transport checks are useful, but they are only one part of disease prevention. Mallorca also needs better traceability, stronger slaughter hygiene, clearer waste management, and practical support for farms. Coordination with Catalonia and the Spanish agriculture ministry will also matter if the island wants a more durable response.
