the global geographic
areas where protection and
surveillance zones (the restricted zones) are to be estab-

Spain has informed the Commission that no virus has
circulated in the Balearic Islands for more than two years.

Consequently, that geographic area should be considered
free of bluetongue and, on the basis of the substantiated
request submitted by Spain, deleted from the areas listed
for restricted zones.

Decision 2005/393/EC should therefore be amended
