    Following the notification of outbreaks of bluetongue in mid-August and early September 2006 by Belgium, Germany, France and the Netherlands, the Commission has amended several times Decision 2005/393/EC as regards the demarcation of the restricted zones concerned.

    (6)

    Following a substantiated request submitted by France and Germany, it is appropriate to amend the demarcation of the restricted zone in France and Germany.

    (7)

    Following the enlargement of the restricted zone in Germany due to the recent outbreaks in Bavaria and Schleswig-Holstein, it is appropriate to demarcate restricted zones in the Czech Republic and in Denmark.

    (8)

    Decision 2005/393/EC should be amended accordingly.

    (9)

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