(notified under document number C(2006) 4132)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/633/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 6(1), Article 8(2)(d) and (3), Article 9(1)(c) and the third paragraph of Article 19 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Directive 2000/75/EC lays down control rules and measures to combat bluetongue in the Community, including the establishment of protection and surveillance zones and a ban on animals leaving those zones. |
(2) |
Commission Decision 2005/393/EC of 23 May 2005 on protection and surveillance zones in relation to bluetongue and conditions applying to movements from or through these zones (2) provides for the demarcation of the global geographic areas where protection and surveillance zones (the restricted zones) are to be established by the Member States in relation to bluetongue. |
(3) |
By Decision 2006/591/EC, the Commission has amended Decision 2005/393/EC as regards the demarcation of restricted zones established following the notification of outbreaks of bluetongue by the competent authorities of the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. |
(4) |
On 31 August and 5 September 2006 respectively, France and Germany informed the Commission of new confirmed cases of bluetongue. In view of these new findings, Decision 2005/393/EC should be amended in order to amend the restricted zone including the affected area. |
(5) |
Taking into account the measures taken by the affected Member States to avoid the spread of the disease, movements of susceptible animals into the surveillance zone should be allowed under the supervision of the competent authorities concerned. |
(6) |
On the request of the competent authority of the Netherlands, small amendments to the demarcation of the restricted zone which relates to the Netherlands are necessary. |
(7) |
To prevent the further spread of the disease, this Decision should apply as a matter of urgency. |
(8) |
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
Decision 2005/393/EC is amended as follows:
1. |
Article 2 is replaced by the following: ‘Article 2 Demarcation of restricted zones Restricted zones shall be demarcated within the global geographical areas listed for zones A, B, C, D, E and F in Annex I. Exemptions from the exit ban for those restricted zones shall only take place in accordance with Articles 3, 4, 5 and 6. In the case of restricted zone E, movements of live animals of ruminant species between Spain and Portugal shall be subject to authorisation by the competent authorities concerned on the base of a bilateral agreement. In the case of restricted zone F, movements of live animals of species susceptible to bluetongue and their semen, ova and embryos within the zone shall be allowed. However, for Member States which have established a surveillance zone, movements into that zone can only take place after the approval of the competent authority of the place of destination. Furthermore this Decision shall not apply to movements of semen, ova and embryos collected or produced before 1 May 2006.’ |
2. |
Article 2a is replaced by the following: ‘Article 2a Derogation from the movement ban in the 20 km zone By way of derogation from Article 6(1)(c) of Directive 2000/75/EC, the following animals shall be exempted from the ban on movement in the 20 km zone:
|
3. |
Annex I is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision. |
Article 2
This Decision shall apply from the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
