THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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(3) thereof,

(2)
The United Kingdom has notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N1 in a poultry holding on its territory in the county of Suffolk and has taken the appropriate measures as provided for in Decision 2006/415/EC, including the establishment of Areas A and B as provided for in Article 4 of that Decision.

The Commission has examined those measures in collaboration with the United Kingdom, and is satisfied that the borders of Areas A and B established by the competent authority in that Member State are at a sufficient distance to the actual location of the outbreak. Areas A and B in the United Kingdom can therefore be confirmed and the duration of that regionalisation fixed.

The measures provided for in this Decision should be reviewed at the next meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

Whereas, at the present time, the Member States do not authorize the importation of fresh meat of wild solipeds; whereas, therefore, the list should be extended solely to include meat from wild cloven-hoofed animals;
