(2) Following the outbreak of a very serious epidemic of avian influenza, caused by a highly pathogenic H5N1 virus strain, in south-eastern Asia starting in December 2003, the Commission adopted several protection measures in relation to avian influenza.
(3) In addition, since 2002 surveillance programmes for avian influenza in poultry and wild birds have been implemented in Member States.
(4) More recently, the Commission adopted Decision 2005/732/EC(3) approving the programmes for the implementation of Member States’ surveys for avian influenza in poultry and wild birds.
(5) In accordance with Commission Decision 2005/731/EC of 17 October 2005 laying down additional requirements for the surveillance of avian influenza in wild birds(4), which is applicable until 31 January 2006, Member States include in their programmes also the surveillance and laboratory investigations of abnormal mortality and significant disease outbreaks in wild birds.
(6) The epidemiological situation requires to prolong the surveillance measures applied in Member States and it is therefore appropriate to prolong in a first step the additional requirements until the end of 2006.
(7) Decision 2005/731/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(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,
