Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/2289
of 11 December 2017
amending the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 on protective measures in relation to outbreaks of the highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain Member States
(notified under document C(2017) 8631)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Whereas:
Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 provides that the protection and surveillance zones established by the competent authorities of the concerned Member States in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC are to comprise at least the areas listed as protection and surveillance zones in the Annex to that Implementing Decision. Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 also lays down that the measures to be applied in the protection and surveillance zones, as provided for in Article 29(1) and Article 31 of Directive 2005/94/EC, are to be maintained until at least the dates for those zones set out in the Annex to that Implementing Decision.
Since the date of the last amendment made to Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 by Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/2175, Bulgaria has notified the Commission of a recent outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N8 in a poultry holding in the region of Stara Zagora of that Member State. Bulgaria has also notified the Commisssion that it has taken the necessary measures required in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC following that recent outbreak, including the establishment of protection and surveillance zones around the infected poultry holding.
In addition, Italy has notified the Commission of further outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N8 in poultry holdings, located in the region of Lombardia and Veneto of that Member State. Italy has also notified the Commission that it has taken the necessary measures required in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC following these recent outbreaks, including the establishment of protection and surveillance zones around the infected poultry holdings.
The Commission has examined the measures taken by Bulgaria and Italy in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC, following the recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in those Member States, and it is satisfied that the boundaries of the protection and surveillance zones established by the competent authorities of those two Member States are at a sufficient distance to any poultry holding where an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N8 has been confirmed.
In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union, and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade being imposed by third countries, it is necessary to rapidly describe at Union level, in collaboration with Bulgaria and Italy, the protection and surveillance zones established in those two Member States, in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC, following the recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in those Member States. Therefore, the entries for Bulgaria and Italy in the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 should be updated to take account of the up-to-date epidemiological situation in those Member States as regards that disease. In particular, new entries for the protection and surveillance zones in Bulgaria and Italy, now subject to restrictions in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC, should be added to the lists in the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247.
The Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 should therefore be amended to update regionalisation at Union level in order to include the protection and surveillance zones established in Bulgaria and Italy in accordance with Directive 2005/94/EC, following the recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in those Member States, and the duration of the restrictions applicable therein.
Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 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,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/247 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.
