THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


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(4) thereof,


Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,

(2)


Due to a second outbreak of the disease in the commune of Mordano, in the province of Bologna in the Region of Emilia-Romagna, the Commission adopted Implementing Decision 2013/443/EU (4), which adapted the borders of the protection and surveillance zones and established further restricted zones. These zones were defined in Parts A, B and C of the Annex to that Decision. The occurrence of further disease outbreaks makes it necessary to adapt the zones under restrictions as defined by Parts A, B and C of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/443/EU.












(3)


The Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/443/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
