amending Decision 2008/185/EC as regards the inclusion of Hungary in the list of Member States or regions thereof free of Aujeszky's disease

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine (1), and in particular Articles 9(2) and 10(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Directive 64/432/EEC lays down rules applicable to trade in the Union in bovine animals and swine. Article 9 of that Directive lays down criteria for the approval of compulsory national control programmes for certain contagious diseases, including Aujeszky's disease. In addition, Article 10 of that Directive provides that where a Member State considers its territory or part thereof to be free of such diseases, including Aujeszky's disease, it is to present appropriate supporting documentation to the Commission.

(2) Commission Decision 2008/185/EC (2) lays down the additional guarantees for movements of pigs between Member States. Those guarantees are linked to the classification of Member States according to their Aujeszky's disease status.

(3) Annex I to Decision 2008/185/EC lists Member States or regions thereof which are free of Aujeszky's disease and where vaccination is prohibited. Annex II to that Decision lists Member States or regions thereof where approved national control programmes for the eradication of Aujeszky's disease are in place.

(4) Hungary is currently listed in Annex II to Decision 2008/185/EC, as a Member State or region thereof where approved national control programmes for the eradication of Aujeszky's disease have been implemented.

(5) Hungary has submitted documentation in support of its application to declare Hungary free from Aujeszky's disease.

(6) Following the evaluation of the supporting documentation submitted by Hungary, it is appropriate that Hungary is no longer listed in Annex II to Decision 2008/185/EC, but instead be listed in Annex I thereto.

(7) Decision 2008/185/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Annexes I and II to Decision 2008/185/EC are replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
