African swine fever is an infectious viral disease affecting domestic and feral pig populations and can have a severe impact on the profitability of pig farming causing disturbance to trade within the Union and exports to third countries.

Council Directive 2002/60/EC (3) lays down minimum measures to be applied within the Union for the control of African swine fever.

Lithuania has informed the Commission of the current African swine fever situation on its territory, and in accordance with Article 9 of Directive 2002/60/EC, it has established protection and surveillance zones where the measures referred to in Articles 10 and 11 of that Directive are applied.
(5)
In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to establish in collaboration with the Member State concerned a Union list of the restricted zones for African swine fever in Lithuania which are the protection and surveillance zones (‘the restricted zones’).
(6)
Accordingly, pending the next meeting of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, the restricted zones in Lithuaniashould be listed in the Annex to this Decision and the duration of that regionalisation fixed.

This Decision is to be reviewed at the next meeting of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

Article 2
This Decision shall apply until 15 August 2014.
