COMMISSION DECISION
of 12 April 2006
amending Decision 2003/526/EC as regards classical swine fever control measures in Germany
(notified under document number C(2006) 1521)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/284/EC)
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 establishes certain additional disease control measures concerning classical swine fever. |
|
(2) |
Germany has informed the Commission about the recent evolution of that disease in feral pigs in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. In the light of the epidemiological information available, the areas in Germany where disease control measures apply should be amended to include certain areas in North Rhine-Westphalia and adjacent areas in Rhineland-Palatinate. |
|
(3) |
The disease situation in other areas of the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate has significantly improved. The measures provided for in Decision 2003/526/EC concerning those areas should therefore no longer apply. |
|
(4) |
Decision 2003/526/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(5) |
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
The Annex to Decision 2003/526/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 12 April 2006.
