(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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(1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
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(2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 2005/94/EC of 20 December 2005 on Community measures for the control of avian influenza and repealing Directive 92/40/EEC(3), and in particular Article 63(3) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 June 2013 on the non-commercial movement of pet animals and repealing Regulation (EC) No 998/2003(4), and in particular Article 36(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2006/415/EC(5) lays down certain protection measures to be applied in order to prevent the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza, including the establishment of areas A and B following a suspected or confirmed outbreak of that disease. Those areas are listed in the table set out in the Annex to that Decision.
(2) Following a confirmed outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N1 in Bulgaria, that Member State took protection measures pursuant to Decision 2006/415/EC and established areas A and B, as provided for in Article 4 of that Decision.
(3) The Commission has examined those measures in collaboration with Bulgaria, and considers that the borders of Areas A and B established by the competent authority in that Member State are at a sufficient distance to the actual location of the outbreak. Areas A and B in Bulgaria can therefore be confirmed and the duration of that regionalisation fixed.
(4) Areas A and B in Bulgaria should be listed in the Annex to Decision 2006/415/EC.
(5) The Annex to Decision 2006/415/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 Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
