Whereas:
(1)

Slovakia has now informed the Commission that classical swine fever in feral pigs has been successfully eradicated in the territories of the District Veterinary and Food Administrations of Trenčín (comprising Trenčín and Bánovce nad Bebravou districts), Prievidza (comprising the Prievidza and Partizánske districts) and Púchov (comprising the Ilava district only).

Slovakia has also informed the Commission about the recent evolution of classical swine fever in feral pigs and the presence of that disease in the districts of Nové Zámky. In the light of the epidemiological information available, the measures of the plan for the eradication of classical swine fever in feral pigs need to be extended to include part of the districts of Nové Zámky, Komárno and Levice.
(4)
For the sake of transparency of Community legislation, the areas covered by those plans as set out in the Annex to Decision 2005/59/EC should be replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

Decision 2005/59/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
