The watchdog said it banned imports of live poultry, poultry meat and other poultry products, which had not passed heat treatment, as well as feed and equipment used on poultry farms, following a recent bird flu outbreak in Bavaria, in southern Germany.
However, the watchdog said that it has allowed imports of hatching eggs and baby chicks from German incubators (except for Bavaria), as they were biologically safe.
On August, 26 German authorities identified a pathogenic strain of the H5N1 virus on a Bavarian duck farm.
Preliminary reports say a total of 160-170 ducks and other birds have already been culled.
The reports come in the wake of a season of bird flu scares in Europe, with poultry farms in Hungary, Britain and the Czech Republic, and most recently of Germany's Bavaria and Saxonia last month, affected this year.
The deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu has claimed dozens of human lives since it first appeared in Asia in 2003. It has since spread worldwide, and scientists fear the virus could mutate into a form transmissible between humans, sparking a global pandemic.
