andban area to be a wild bird monitoring area.3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .6An area remains a wild bird control area until—athe National Assembly amends the declaration made under paragraph (2)(a) ... so that the area within its boundaries becomes part of the wild bird monitoring area; orbthe National Assembly revokes the declaration.7An area remains a wild bird monitoring area until the National Assembly revokes the declaration made under paragraph (2)(b) ....8Subject to paragraph (9), premises which are only partly in a wild bird control area or a wild bird monitoring area are deemed to be wholly within that area.9Premises which are partly in a wild bird control area and partly in a wild bird monitoring area are deemed to be wholly in the wild bird control area.Extent of wild bird control and monitoring areas61A wild bird control area must—abe centred on the place where the wild bird or carcase referred to in Article 5(1) was found (“the outbreak point”); andbhave a boundary which is at least three kilometres from the outbreak point.2A wild bird monitoring area must—abe centred on the outbreak point; andb have a boundary which is at least ten kilometres from the outbreak point.3The National Assembly must take into account the following factors in deciding the extent of any wild bird control area or wild bird monitoring area—athe geographical features of the proposed areas;bany administrative boundaries;cany limnological factors;dany ecological factors;eany epizootic factors;fmonitoring facilities; andgany other factor it considers relevant.4Paragraphs (5) and (6) apply if the National Assembly is satisfied, having carried out a risk assessment, that due to natural barriers or the absence of suitable habitats for wild birds, there is sufficient protection of poultry and other captive birds in the area that would otherwise be declared to be the wild bird control area.5The wild bird control area may have a boundary which is at least one kilometre from the outbreak point.6Where the outbreak point is less than one kilometre away from the bank of a river or the shore of a lake or coast, the wild bird control area may be an area of land which—ihas a width of one kilometre from that bank or shore; andiiis at least three kilometres in length7The risk assessment under paragraph (4) must take account of the factors listed in paragraph (3).8If the National Assembly declares a wild bird control area of the dimensions provided for under paragraph (5) or (6), the wild bird monitoring area must be of such size and shape as the National Assembly considers necessary to prevent the spread of avian influenza.9A wild bird control area or a wild bird monitoring area declared under article 5(2) must be of such size and shape as the National Assembly considers necessary to prevent the spread of avian influenza.10If an area declared in accordance with this article would otherwise include land in England, the National Assembly must declare an area of such part of that land as is in Wales.Wild bird or carcase found within a protection zone or surveillance zone7If the wild bird or carcase referred to in article 5(1) is found within a protection zone or surveillance zone declared under article 28 of the Avian Influenza Order, the National Assembly must, when declaring a wild bird control area and a wild bird monitoring area, consider, on the basis of a risk assessment, whether the control and monitoring areas should include part or all of the protection and surveillance zones.Measures applicable in a wild bird control area or monitoring area81The measures in Schedule 1 apply in respect of a wild bird control area including movements from that area, subject to paragraphs (4)(a) and (9).2The measures in Schedule 2 apply in respect of a wild bird monitoring area including movements from that area, subject to paragraph (4)(b).3The biosecurity measures in Schedule 3 apply in respect of a wild bird control area and a wild bird monitoring area.4Where the conditions in paragraph (5) are fulfilled, the National Assembly may—aamend the declaration of the wild bird control area so that some or all of the measures listed in paragraphs 1 to 16 of Schedule 1 no longer apply in respect of that area; andbamend the declaration of the wild bird monitoring area so that some or all of the measures listed in Schedule 2 no longer apply in respect of that area.5The conditions are—aa risk assessment indicates that the disapplication of the measure in that wild bird control area or wild bird monitoring area would not endanger disease control;bthere has been no outbreak of H5N1 in poultry or other captive birds in either of those areas;cthe wild bird control area or wild bird monitoring area has been established for at least 21 days; anddthe National Assembly does not suspect there is avian influenza in poultry or other captive birds within either of those areas.6When carrying out a risk assessment under paragraph (5)(a) the National Assembly must take account of the factors listed in article 6(3).7Paragraph (4)(b) does not apply in relation to the measures in paragraphs (4) and (6) of Schedule 2 where the National Assembly has amended the declaration of a wild bird control area so that it has become part of the wild bird monitoring area before 21 days have elapsed from the date the sample was collected from the wild bird or carcase in accordance with article 12(1)(a).8Paragraph (9) applies if—aat the time of its establishment, a wild bird control area or a wild bird monitoring area centred on the same outbreak point overlaps with a surveillance zone declared under article 28 of the Avian Influenza Order;bthat surveillance zone is subsequently ended by a declaration; andca risk assessment indicates that the disapplication in that wild bird control area of the measure or the article referred to in paragraph (9) would not endanger disease control.9The National Assembly may amend the declaration of the wild bird control area so that—aany of the measures listed in Schedule 1; orbarticle 11do not apply in respect of that wild bird control area.Additional measures91In its declaration of a wild bird control area or a wild bird monitoring area, the National Assembly must impose such additional measures as it considers necessary to reduce the risk of the spread of avian influenza.2When deciding what measures to impose under paragraph (1), the National Assembly must consider whether measures are necessary—ato prevent direct or indirect contact which wild birds might otherwise have with poultry and other captive birds;bto reduce the risk of feed and water provided to poultry and other captive birds being contaminated with the avian influenza virus or with any virus that causes avian influenza; andcto reduce the risk of the spread of avian influenza between premises.3The additional measures referred to in paragraph (1) include requirements that—apoultry and other captive birds are housed or otherwise kept separate from wild birds;bpoultry or other captive birds or categories of such birds specified in the declaration are housed or otherwise kept separate from other poultry and captive birds;cpoultry and other captive birds are provided with feed and water to which wild birds have no access;dkeepers of poultry and other captive birds and others who come into contact with such birds cleanse and disinfect their footwear and take such other biosecurity measures as a veterinary inspector or an inspector acting under the direction of a veterinary inspector may require.Restrictions relating to things moved from Scotland, England or Northern Ireland101Subject to paragraph (2), measures in this Order that apply in respect of any thing moved from a wild bird control area or a wild bird monitoring area apply in respect of any such thing moved from an equivalent area in Scotland, England or Northern Ireland.2Paragraph (1) only applies if the person to whom the measure applies is aware, or should reasonably have been aware, that the thing moved is from such an equivalent area.Duty to inspect poultry premises111Subject to article 8(9), the National Assembly must ensure that—apremises where poultry are kept within the wild bird control area and the wild bird monitoring area are identified as soon as is reasonably practicable; andba veterinary inspector visits such premises within the wild bird control area at such frequency as the National Assembly considers necessary to monitor the possible spread of avian influenza.2Every veterinary inspector making such a visit must—acarry out a clinical inspection of poultry and any other captive birds that are on the premises and, if he or she is directed by the National Assembly, collect samples for laboratory examination; andbassess the extent to which the biosecurity measures referred to in Schedule 3 are being applied.Maintenance of Areas121If the Chief Veterinary Officer advises the National Assembly that the avian influenza virus of sub-type H5 present in the wild bird or carcase referred to in article 5(1)(a) is of neuraminidase N1, the National Assembly must not—aamend any declaration made under article 5 so that the wild bird control area becomes part of the wild bird monitoring area until at least 21 days have elapsed from the date on which the sample showing the presence of the H5 virus was collected from that wild bird or carcase except where the conditions in paragraph (2) are fulfilled; orbrevoke any declaration made under article 5 until at least 30 days have elapsed from that date.2The conditions referred to in paragraph (1)(a) are—athe National Assembly has carried out an assessment of the risk of the possible spread of avian influenza, taking into account the factors listed in article 6(3), which indicates that the amendment of the declaration would not endanger disease control;bthe National Assembly has identified premises where poultry are kept within the wild bird control area in accordance with article 11(1)(a);ca veterinary inspector has carried out such visits as considered necessary in accordance with article 11(1)(b) and the results of any laboratory tests carried out on samples taken from poultry or other captive birds on those premises in accordance with article 11(2)(a) have not given rise to the service of a notice under article 10(1) of the Avian Influenza Order.3Where the National Assembly amends a declaration so that a wild bird control area becomes part of the wild bird monitoring area before 21 days have elapsed from the date referred to in paragraph (1)(a), the declaration of the wild bird monitoring area may also be amended so that the size and shape of that area is varied, provided that the area remains of a size required under article 6(5) or 6(6).4If the Chief Veterinary Officer advises the National Assembly that in his or her opinion the avian influenza virus of sub-type H5 present in the wild bird or carcase referred to in article 5(1)(a) is not of neuraminidase N1, the National Assembly must revoke any declaration made under article 5 without delay.

The Commission Decisions adopted on 1 December 2006 have not yet been published in the Official Journal of the European Union but are available at the address below.

This Order provides that if the Chief Veterinary Officer advises the National Assembly that avian influenza of subtype H5 is present in a wild bird or a wild bird carcase and that he or she suspects or confirms that the neuraminidase type is N1, the National Assembly must, subject to a derogation, declare a wild bird control area and a wild bird monitoring area (articles 5, 6 and 7). Article 8 introduces Schedules 1 — 3 and sets out the circumstances in which the National Assembly can amend a declaration so that certain measures do not apply in respect of those areas.

Article 9 provides that the National Assembly may, in its declaration of a wild bird control area or a wild bird monitoring area, impose additional measures to those set out in the Schedules.

The National Assembly must ensure that veterinary inspectors inspect commercial premises in a wild bird control area or a wild bird monitoring area to monitor the spread of avian influenza (article 11).

Article 12 sets out the circumstances in which the National Assembly can either amend a declaration of a wild bird control area so that it becomes part of the wild bird monitoring area or revoke the declaration of either area.

Articles 14 to 16 relate to the provision of information and reasonable assistance, to record keeping and to compliance with requirements laid down under the Order. Article 17 provides for the feeding and tending of animals or poultry which cannot be moved on termination of a right of occupation because of a restriction imposed by the Order. Article 18 relates to cleansing and disinfection.

Articles 19 to 25 make provision related to offences and enforcement. Article 22 confers general powers on inspectors to take action to prevent spread of the disease.

Schedule 1 sets out the measures that are to apply in respect of a wild bird control area including measures relating to the movement of birds (Part 1), the movement of hatching eggs (Part 2), the movement of meat (Part 3), the movement of poultry by-products (part 4) and the use or movement of manure, the hunting or release of birds and bird gatherings (Part 5) and other provisions relating to the measures to be taken at premises receiving birds or their products from the area. Schedule 2 sets out the measures that are to apply in respect of a wild bird monitoring area including measures relating to the movement of birds and prohibitions on bird gatherings and the hunting or release of birds. Schedule 3 sets out the biosecurity measures that are to apply in respect of premises where poultry or other captive birds are kept in a wild bird control area or a wild bird monitoring area.

This Order is enforced by the local authority (article 25).

Failure to comply with this Order is an offence under section 73 of the Animal Health Act 1981 (c. 22), punishable in accordance with section 75 of that Act.

A regulatory appraisal of the effect that this Order will have on the costs of business has not been prepared because of the obligation to implement European Commission Decisions on animal disease control as quickly as possible.
