What is important to me is there has been consensus and clarity, (and) much better coordination. We'll be much quicker to control avian influenza as a result.

There is a chance that we could have at least as many dying from communicable diseases as we've had dying from the tsunami.

If there is delay in getting culling teams out, delay in any part of the chain, even weeks, that could have great implications for the virus to spread.

We are watching very closely to see how the disease associated with bird flu, when it hits humans, is evolving.

This outbreak is moving ahead of efforts to control it.
