Turkey says adequate measures were taken to contain the virus
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.
As many as 1,500 turkeys are said to have died on a farm in the region.
Results of tests to establish if cases found in Turkey and Romania are the H5N1 strain, which has killed more than 60 people, would be known by Wednesday."
