COMMI SSION IMPLEMENTING REGUL ATION (EU) 2018/1882 
of 3 December 2018

and establishing a list of species and groups of species posing a considerable risk for the spread of 
those listed diseases 
(Text with EEA relevance) 
THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regar d 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 Marc h 2016 on 
transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (‘Animal Health 
Law’) (1), and in particular Articles 8(2) and 9(2) thereof, 
Whereas: 
(1)  Regulation (EU) 2016/429 lays down rules for the prevention and control of diseases whic h are transmissible to 
animals or humans, including rules for the prioritisation and catego risation of listed diseases that are of concer n 
at Union level. Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 provid es that disease-specif ic rules for the prevention and 
control of diseases apply to the listed diseases, as refer red to in that Article and in Annex II to that Regulation. 
Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 was amended by Commission Delegat ed Regulation (EU) 2018/1629 (2), 
and those amendments apply from 21 Apr il 2021. 
(2)  Rules for the prevention and control of listed diseases should only apply to species and groups of species which 
can transmit such liste d diseases, by virtue of either being suscep tible to them or by acting as vect ors. 
(3)  Liste d diseases require different types of management measures, as set out in the disease prevention and control 
rules provided for in Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2016/429, and having regard to the poten tial seriousness of 
their impa ct on public or animal health, the economy , society or on the envi ronment. Those measures range 
from basic responsibilities and oblig ations, such as repor ting and the notification of the occur rence or suspicion 
of a listed disease and eradication programmes, to in–dept h Union–wide disease-specific surveillance and 
eradication measures, as well as measures relat ed to the mov ement of animals and products of animal origin in 
the Union and their entr y into the Union. 
(4)  Certain criteria are laid down in Articles 8(2) and (3) and 9(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 and in 
Annex IV thereto, for the purpose of listing specifi c species or groups of species subject to the disease prevention 
and control rules laid down in that Regulation, as well as the methods of applying the disease prevention and 
control rules to the listed diseases. 
(5)  The Commission, with the assistance of the European Food Safety Author ity (EFSA ) and with the benefit of 
scientific knowledg e provided by the EU Animal Health Reference Laboratori es, carried out a systematic 
assessment of listed diseases which require Union inter vention. It also took into account available information 
from the World Org anisation for Animal Health. 
(6)  The systematic assessment by the Commission also took into account various factors, such as the species 
suscep tible to certain listed diseases, disease reser voirs and disease vect ors, and whether or not the listed disease 
is currently present in the Union, and how the liste d disease is transmitt ed between animals, and from animals to 
humans, and its poten tial impact on animal and human health, including its morbidity and mor tality rates. The 
system atic assessment also considered the wider impa ct of these listed diseases, such as their impact on the 
econom y, society , animal welf are, the envi ronment and biodiversity . 
(7)  For the purposes of the systematic assessment, EFSA delivered scientifi c opinions on infection with Brucella 
abor tus, B. melitensis and B. suis (3), infection with Mycobacteri um tuber culosis compl ex (M. bovis, M. caprae and 
M. tubercu losis) (4), infection with blueton gue virus (serotypes 1-24) (5), anthrax (6), surra (Trypanosoma evansi) (7), 
Ebola virus disease (8), paratuberculosis (9), Japanese encephalitis (10), West Nile fever (11), infection with 4.12.2018 L 308/21 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     Myco plasma mycoides subsp. myco ides SC (Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia) (12), infectious bovine rhinotrachei ­
tis/inf ectious pustular vulvo vaginitis (13), bovine viral diar rhoea (14), bovine genital camp ylobacter iosis (15), tricho ­
monosis (16), enzootic bovin e leuk osis (17), contagious capr ine pleuropneumonia (18), ovine epididymitis (Brucella 
ovis) (19), Venezuelan equine encephalomy elitis (20), equine encephalomy elitis (Eastern and Wester n) (21), infection 
with Aujeszky's disease virus (22), infec tion with porcine reproductive and respirato ry syndrome virus (23), avian 
mycoplasmosis (Myco plasma gallisepticum and M. meleag ridis) (24), infec tion with Salmonella Pullor um, 
S. Gallinar um and S. arizonae (25), infection with low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (26), infestation with 
Varroa spp. (Varroosis) (27), infection with Batr achochytr ium salamandr ivorans (28) and Koi herpes virus disease (29) in 
accordance with Article 8(3) of the Regulation (EU) 2016/429 and Annex IV thereto, and it followed the method 
set out in its Scientific Opinion, adop ted on 5 Apr il 2017, on an ad hoc method for the assessment on listing 
and cate gorisation of animal diseases within the framework of the Animal Health Law (30). 
(8)  As Regulation (EU) 2016/429 applies from 21 Apr il 2021, the measures provi ded for in this Regulation should 
also apply from that date. 
(9)  The measures provi ded for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on 
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
