The European Commission says it will ban all Turkish live bird and feather imports, after a bird flu outbreak.

The decision came after Turkish authorities slaughtered up to 2,000 birds in the north-west of the country in an effort to control the disease (bird flu virus).

The Turkish authorities have quarantined a 3km (2 mile) area around the affected farm in the province of Balikesir near the Aegean Sea as a precautionary measure.
