COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2023/2626
of 24 November 2023
amending Annexes I and II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260 as regards the national measures which apply in Denmark concerning bacterial kidney disease (BKD) and infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (‘Animal Health Law’) ( 1 ) , and in particular Article 226(3) thereof,
Whereas:
<table><col/><col/><tbody><tr><td><p>(1)</p></td><td><p>Commission Implementing Decision (EU)&#160;2021/260&#160;<a>(<span>2</span>)</a> establishes, in Annexes&#160;I and II thereto, lists of Member States or parts thereof which are regarded as being free from certain diseases of aquatic animals, not listed under Article&#160;9(1), point (d) of Regulation (EU)&#160;2016/429, or which are subject to an eradication programme for those diseases.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><col/><col/><tbody><tr><td><p>(2)</p></td><td><p>Denmark has notified the Commission that there has been an outbreak of bacterial kidney disease (BKD) in one of the compartments within its territory, which is listed in Annex&#160;I to Implementing Decision (EU)&#160;2021/260, namely the compartment Refsg&#229;rds Dambrug. That compartment should, therefore, be removed from that list.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><col/><col/><tbody><tr><td><p>(3)</p></td><td><p>In addition, Denmark has notified the Commission that there has been an outbreak of BKD in one of the compartments within its territory, which is listed in Annex&#160;II to Implementing Decision (EU)&#160;2021/260, as being subject to an eradication programme for that disease, namely the compartment Hulsig Dambrug.

<table><col/><col/><tbody><tr><td><p>(4)</p></td><td><p>Denmark has also notified the Commission that two compartments within its territory, which are listed in Annex&#160;II to Implementing Decision (EU)&#160;2021/260, have successfully completed eradication programmes for infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN), namely the compartments Lundby Dambrug and Hulsig Dambrug. Those compartments should, therefore, be removed from the list in that Annex and should, instead, be inserted into the list of compartments, that are regarded as being free from IPN, in Annex&#160;I to Implementing Decision (EU)&#160;2021/260.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><col/><col/><tbody><tr><td><p>(5)</p></td><td><p>Denmark has notified the Commission that a compartment within its territory, which is listed in Annex&#160;I to Implementing Decision (EU)&#160;2021/260 concerning IPN, and in Annex&#160;II to that Implementing Decision concerning BKD, namely Ravning Avlsstation, has ceased to exist. That compartment should, therefore, be removed from those lists.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><col/><col/><tbody><tr><td><p>(6)</p></td><td><p>Finally, Denmark has notified the Commission concerning a compartment within its territory, which is listed in Annex&#160;I to Implementing Decision (EU)&#160;2021/260, namely the compartment FREA, and concerning a compartment within its territory, which is listed in Annex&#160;II to that Implementing Decision, namely the compartment &#216;ster H&#248;jg&#229;rd Avlsdambrug, where national measures are no longer necessary to prevent the introduction and spread of IPN and BKD respectively. Those compartments should, therefore, be removed from those lists.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><col/><col/><tbody><tr><td><p>(7)</p></td><td><p>Annexes I and II to Implementing Decision (EU)&#160;2021/260 should, therefore, be amended accordingly.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
