THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 (1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
In response to outbreaks of classical swine fever in certain Member States, Commission Decision 2003/526/EC of 18 July 2003 concerning protection measures relating to classical swine fever in certain Member States (2) was adopted. That Decision established certain additional disease control measures concerning that disease. |
(2) |
The classical swine fever situation in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, has significantly improved. Therefore, the measures adopted by Decision 2003/526/EC in relation with North Rhine-Westphalia should no longer apply. |
(3) |
In Slovakia, a case of classical swine fever has recently been detected in feral pigs in the district of Veľký Krtíš, which previously was not concerned by the disease. Therefore, Decision 2003/526/EC should be amended to take account of the epidemiology situation in that Member State. |
(4) |
In the light of the overall disease situation in France, Germany and Luxembourg by classical swine fever, it is appropriate to extend the validity of Decision 2003/526/EC. |
(5) |
Decision 2003/526/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
Decision 2003/526/EC is amended as follows:
1. |
in Article 11, ‘31 October 2004’ is replaced by ‘30 April 2005’; |
2. |
the Annex to Decision 2003/526/EC is amended as follows:
|
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
