Directive 64/432/EEC applies to trade within the Union in bovine animals. It lays down the conditions whereby a region of a Member State may be declared officially tuberculosis-free, brucellosis-free or enzootic-bovine-leukosis-free as regards bovine herds and it lays down the conditions whereby the officially disease-free status of a region of a Member State is to be suspended.

Italy has submitted to the Commission documentation demonstrating compliance for several regions with the conditions laid down in Directive 64/432/EEC for officially tuberculosis-free status as regards bovine herds. Those regions are the Provinces of Genova, Imperia, La Spezia and Savona of the Region Liguria, the Provinces of Alessandria, Cuneo and Torino of the Region Piemonte and the Provinces of Pesaro-Urbino and Ancona of the Region Marche.

The Provinces of Asti, Biella, Novara, Verbania and Vercelli of the Region Piemonte are already listed in Chapter 2 of Annex I to Decision 2003/467/EC as officially tuberculosis-free regions. Accordingly, the entire Region Liguria, the Provinces of Pesaro-Urbino and Ancona of the Region Marche and the entire Region Piemonte should be listed in that Chapter as officially tuberculosis-free regions as regards bovine herds.

The United Kingdom has submitted to the Commission documentation demonstrating compliance for the Isle of Man with the conditions laid down in Directive 64/432/EEC for officially tuberculosis-free status as regards bovine herds. Accordingly, the Isle of Man should be listed in Chapter 2 of Annex I to Decision 2003/467/EC as an officially tuberculosis-free region as regards bovine herds.

Chapter 2 of Annex II to Decision 2003/467/EC lists the regions of Member States which are declared officially brucellosis-free as regards bovine herds.

Spain has submitted to the Commission documentation demonstrating compliance for the Autonomous Community of Navarra with the conditions laid down in Directive 64/432/EEC for officially brucellosis-free status as regards bovine herds. Accordingly, that region should be listed in Chapter 2 of Annex II to Decision 2003/467/EC as an officially brucellosis-free region as regards bovine herds.

Chapters 1 and 2 of Annex III to Decision 2003/467/EC list the Member States and the regions thereof which are declared officially enzootic-bovine-leukosis-free as regards bovine herds. France is listed in Chapter 1 of that Annex as an officially enzootic-bovine-leukosis-free Member State.

France has submitted to the Commission documentation notifying non-compliance for La Réunion with the requirements for retaining enzootic-bovine-leukosis-free status as provided for in Directive 64/432/EEC. The enzootic-bovine-leukosis-free status of La Réunion should therefore be suspended. Accordingly, France should no longer be listed in Chapter 1 of Annex III to Decision 2003/467/EC as an officially enzootic-bovine-leukosis-free Member State, but instead the regions of that Member State that are free from that disease should be listed in Chapter 2 of that Annex.

The Annexes to Decision 2003/467/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
