Outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N1 continue to occur in poultry and wild birds in third countries. Furthermore, human cases and even deaths resulting from close contact with infected birds continue to occur in countries around the globe. Therefore, there remains the risk that the disease will spread from third countries to the Member States.

| (5) | Therefore, apart from limiting the direct risk caused by imports of poultry, poultry products and pet birds, it is appropriate to keep in place the biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by Influenza virus A subtype H5N1 from birds living in the wild to poultry and other captive birds and to keep in place the early detection systems in areas at particular risk. |
