Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas the Commission has been involved, on behalf of the Community, in the negotiations aimed at the conclusion of the Convention on the protection of the Alps (Alpine Convention); whereas that Convention was signed on behalf of the Community on 7 November 1991;
Whereas the conclusion of the Convention forms part of the involvement of the Community in the international activities on the protection of the environment recommended in the Council resolution of 16 December 1992 on the fifth Programme of Action by the European Communities on the Environment;

COMMISSION DECISION
of 20 January 2006
amending for the second time Decision 2005/710/EC concerning certain protection measures in relation to a suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Romania
(notified under document number C(2006) 62)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2006/24/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 91/496/EEC of 15 July 1991 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on animals entering the Community from third countries and amending Directives 89/662/EEC, 90/425/EEC and 90/675/EEC (1), and in particular Article 18(7) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 97/78/EC of 18 December 1997 laying down the principles governing the organisation of veterinary checks on products entering the Community from third countries (2), and in particular Article 22(6) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Avian influenza is an infectious viral disease in poultry and other birds, causing mortality and disturbance which can quickly take on epizootic proportions liable to present a serious threat to animal and public health and to reduce the profitability of poultry farming sharply. There is a risk that the disease agent might be introduced via international trade in live poultry and poultry products.
(2)
On 12 October 2005 Romania notified the Commission of the isolation of the Asian strain of the avian influenza virus collected from a clinical case in poultry. Commission Decision 2005/710/EC of 13 October 2005 concerning certain protection measures in relation to a suspicion of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Romania (3) was therefore adopted.
(3)
That Decision was amended to regionalise Romania for imports into the Community of poultry meat and poultry meat products in view of the fact that the outbreaks of the Asian strain of the avian influenza virus in Romania were confined to the Danube delta.
(4)
New outbreaks of the disease have occurred in that part of Romania considered free of infection. The area of Romania from which imports into the Community of poultry meat and poultry meat products should still be prohibited therefore needs to be extended to cover that part of the country east and south of the Carpathian Mountains.
(5)
As Romania has now confirmed the presence of the disease on its territory, the title of Decision 2005/710/EC should be amended to take this into account.
(6)
Decision 2005/710/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7)
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 2005/710/EC is amended as follows:
1.
the title is replaced by the following:
2.
the Annex is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
The Member States shall immediately take the necessary measures to comply with this Decision and publish those measures. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 20 January 2006.
