THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(7) thereof,

(1)

Commission Decision 2005/758/EC of 27 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to a suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Croatia and repealing Decision 2005/749/EC (3) was adopted following notification to the Commission from that third country of a suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza A virus of subtype H5 in wild birds in its territory.

Croatia has reported further cases in wild birds outside the area currently regionalised in that Decision which justify extending the suspension of certain imports from Croatia to cover the newly affected part of the territory of that third country.

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