COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION

of 31 July 2014

amending the annex to Implementing Decision 2014/178/EU as regards the areas in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia under restriction for African swine fever

(notified under document C(2014) 5583)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2014/513/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/99/EC of 16 December 2002 laying down animal health rules governing the production, processing, distribution and introduction of products of animal origin for human consumption (3), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Implementing Decision 2014/178/EU (4) lays down animal health control measures in relation to African swine fever in certain Member States. The Annex to that Decision demarcates and lists certain areas differentiated by the level of risk based on the epidemiological situation. That list includes certain areas of Italy, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. |

Commission Implementing Decision 2014/178/EU (4) lays down animal health control measures in relation to African swine fever in certain Member States. The Annex to that Decision demarcates and lists certain areas differentiated by the level of risk based on the epidemiological situation. That list includes certain areas of Italy, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia.

| (2) | Since 26 June 2014, the presence of African swine fever has been identified in feral pigs and domestic pigs in Latvia. The likely source of the introduction of African swine fever virus is from neighbouring third countries that have reported the occurrence of that disease. Several outbreaks in domestic pigs were reported near the Latvian border with third countries and cases in feral pigs were found in the same area, up to 30 kilometres from that border. In addition, several outbreaks in domestic pigs and few cases in feral pigs were reported in Latvia near the Estonian border. New findings were also reported by Lithuania, notably one outbreak in a pig holding in the Eastern part of the country. |

| (3) | The evolution of the current epidemiological situation should be considered in the assessment of the risk represented by the animal health situation in Lithuania, Latvia and in neighbouring third countries. In order to focus animal health control measures and to prevent the spread of that disease as well as to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, the Union list of areas subject to the animal health control measures provided for in Implementing Decision 2014/178/EU should be amended and take into account the current animal health situation as regards that disease in Lithuania and Latvia. |
