THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market, and in particular Article 9(3) thereof,
OJ L 395, 30.12.1989, p. 13. Directive as last amended by Directive 2004/41/EC (OJ L 157, 30.4.2004, p. 33); corrected version (OJ L 195, 2.6.2004, p. 12).
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, and in particular Article 10(3) thereof,
OJ L 224, 18.8.1990, p. 29. Directive as last amended by Directive 2002/33/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 315, 19.11.2002, p. 14).
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2006/415/EC of 14 June 2006 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza of the subtype H5N1 in poultry in the Community and repealing Decision 2006/135/EC lays down certain protection measures to prevent the spread of the avian influenza into the disease-free parts of the Community through the movement of birds as well as products thereof.
OJ L 164, 16.6.2006, p. 51. Decision as amended by Decision 2007/128/EC (OJ L 53, 22.2.2007, p. 26).
(2) The Czech Republic has notified an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5 in poultry on its territory and has taken the appropriate measures in the framework of Decision 2006/415/EC, including the establishment of Areas A and B as provided for in Article 4 of that Decision.
(3) The Commission is satisfied that the boundaries of Areas A and B established by the competent authority of the Czech Republic are at a sufficient distance from the actual location of the outbreak. Areas A and B in the Czech Republic can therefore be confirmed and the duration of that regionalisation fixed.
(4) It is therefore necessary to amend Decision 2006/415/EC accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision should be reviewed at the next meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
