Why the turnaround?

I would like to draw your attention to the DEFRA report of 10th March 2008 called Rabies in Western Europe.  It makes very interesting reading!
Of particular interest is the conclusion, which states:

This highlights the importance of a proportionate precautionary system which is already in place for legal imports under the pet passport scheme and through quarantine and other measures.

Would be interesting to know, considering the recent rabies cases in North East Italy and France, what has made DEFRA have a 180 degree turnaround in its views.
