(2010/211/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Decision 2008/855/EC of 3 November 2008 concerning animal health control measures relating to classical swine fever in certain Member States (3) lays down certain control measures concerning classical swine fever in the Member States or regions thereof set out in the Annex to that Decision.

(2)

Germany has informed the Commission about the recent developments with regard to that disease in feral pigs in certain areas of the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate.

(3)

That information indicates that classical swine fever in feral pigs has been eradicated in certain areas of those federal states. Accordingly, those areas where the situation improved should be removed from the list in the Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC and the measures provided for in that Decision should no longer apply to them.

(4)

For the sake of transparency of Union legislation, the entire part of the list set out in the Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC which concerns Germany should be replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

(5)

Decision 2008/855/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(6)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

In the Annex to Decision 2008/855/EC, point 1 of Part I is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
