Directive 64/432/EEC provides criteria for approving a Member State or region thereof as being free of certain contagious diseases, including Aujeszky’s disease.

Decision 2008/185/EC also lays down the additional guarantees relating to that disease for movements of pigs between Member States. Those additional guarantees are linked to the disease-status of the concerned Member States or regions thereof.
