Regulation (EU) 2016/429, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/990, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2002 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2236 began to apply in the States of the European Economic Area (‘EEA States’) from 21 April 2021.

| (2) | Regulation (EU) 2016/429 establishes a new legislative framework for the prevention and control of diseases transmissible to animals or humans. Article 226(1) provides that Norway and Iceland may adopt national measures to prevent the introduction, or control the spread, of a disease other than a listed disease referred to in Article 9(1)(d) of that Regulation where that disease constitutes a significant risk for the health of aquatic animals in that EEA State. Diseases other than a listed disease referred to in Article 9(1)(d) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 include aquatic animal diseases not included in any of the categories of listed diseases under Article 9(1) (‘non-listed diseases’) and the listed disease Koi herpes virus disease for which there is a need for surveillance within the EEA pursuant to Article 9(1)(e) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429. |

| (4) | Article 226(2), (3) and (4) of the same Regulation requires Norway and Iceland to notify the EFTA Surveillance Authority (‘the Authority’) in advance of any proposed national measures and provides that the Authority shall approve such national measures where the establishment of movement restrictions between Norway or Iceland and other EEA States is necessary in order to prevent the introduction, or control the spread, of the relevant disease, taking into account the overall impact on the EEA of the disease in question and of the measures taken. |

| (5) | In order to protect the health status of Norway and Iceland insofar as either country has national measures approved for a particular disease pursuant to Article 226(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429, consignments of species of aquatic animals which are susceptible to the disease in question and which are moved to, and within, Norway or Iceland (‘relevant consignments’) are required to originate from an EEA State, or part thereof, which is free from that disease. Such consignments are to be accompanied by an official certificate attesting to this disease-free status. |

To allow the Authority to make a regular assessment of the appropriateness and necessity of any such measures, and to provide an opportunity to amend them if necessary, Norway and Iceland should send an annual report to the Authority detailing the functioning of the measures in the previous year. Any such annual reports and other relevant reporting should include certain information set out in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2002. |

| (9) | Eradication programmes approved in accordance with Article 226(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 should lead to an improvement in the disease situation within a reasonable period of time. In the interest of coherence, this period of time should not be longer than the period within which an eradication programme for a disease referred to in Article 9(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 is to be completed. The period of application of an eradication programme approved in accordance with Article 226(3) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 should, therefore, not exceed six years from the date of its initial approval by the Authority. In duly justified cases, and at the request of Norway or Iceland as relevant, the Authority should have the possibility of extending the period of application of the eradication programme for an additional six-year period. This maximum period of application is laid down in order to give an adequate period of time within which an eradication programme may be completed, whilst at the same time preventing the disproportionate and long-lasting disruption of movements of aquatic animals within the EEA. |

| (10) | By Decision No 58/16/COL-D of 3 March 2016 (‘Decision No 58/16/COL-D’), the Authority approved national measures by Norway designed to limit the impact of infection with Gyrodactylus salaris in areas of Norway considered free from that disease, pursuant to Article 43 of Directive 2006/88/EC. (5) Regulation (EU) 2016/429 repeals Directive 2006/88/EC, being the legal basis for both Decision No 58/16/COL-D and certain Acts (Regulation (EC) No 1251/2008 (6) and Commission Decision No 2010/221/EC (7)) to which that Decision refers.

| (11) | The Authority has, in close cooperation with the European Commission, assessed the national measures designed to limit the impact of infection with Gyrodactylus salaris (a non-listed disease) notified by Norway pursuant to Article 226(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 (Doc No 1207866), taking into account the standards of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) (8) and the overall impact on the EEA of the disease in question and of the notified measures. |

| (12) | The Authority is satisfied that Norway has designed an effective eradication programme for those areas of Norway which remain infected with Gyrodactylus salaris. The Authority is further satisfied that Norway has maintained the disease-free status of those areas of Norway considered free from Gyrodactylus salaris under Decision No 58/16/COL-D and demonstrated disease-free status in all other areas of Norway not covered by the eradication programme. Finally, the Authority is satisfied that Norway has demonstrated the appropriateness and necessity of the national measures establishing movement restrictions in order to prevent the introduction, or to control the spread, of the disease. The national measures are therefore approved by the Authority by this Decision in accordance with Article 226(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429. |
