            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2023/749
of 14 April 2023
         
amending Annexes I and II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260 as regards the national measures which apply in Denmark concerning bacterial kidney disease (BKD) and infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) and the national measures which apply in the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland) concerning Ostreid herpesvirus-1μνar (OsHV-1μνar)
(Text with EEA relevance)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (‘Animal Health Law’) (1), and in particular Article 226(3) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260 (2) establishes, in Annexes I and II thereto, lists of Member States or parts thereof which are regarded as being free from certain diseases of aquatic animals, not listed under Article 9(1), point (d) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429, or which are subject to an eradication programme for those diseases.












(2)


Denmark has notified the Commission that four of the compartments within its territory, which are listed in Annex I to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260, have ceased to exist and should, therefore, be removed from the list of compartments which are regarded as being free from infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in Denmark. One of those compartments should also be removed from the list of compartments which are regarded as being free from bacterial kidney disease (BKD).












(3)


Denmark has also notified the Commission that there has been an outbreak of IPN in one of the compartments within its territory, which is listed in Annex II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260. That compartment is no longer subject to an eradication programme for IPN and should, therefore, be removed from the list.












(4)


In addition, Denmark has notified the Commission that a new compartment within its territory has commenced an eradication programme for BKD. This compartment should, therefore, be added to the list of compartments that are subject to an eradication programme for BKD in Annex II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260.












(5)


Denmark has also notified the Commission that a compartment within its territory, which is listed in Annex II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260, has successfully completed an eradication programme for BKD and an eradication programme for IPN. This compartment should, therefore, be removed from the list in that Annex and should, instead, be inserted into the list of compartments, that are regarded as being free from BKD and the list of compartments which are free from IPN, in Annex I to that Implementing Decision.












(6)


Furthermore, the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland, has notified the Commission that as all areas of Northern Ireland where aquaculture animals which are susceptible to Ostreid herpesvirus-1μνar are kept, are no longer free from that disease, maintaining national measures to control it, is no longer considered necessary. The territory of Northern Ireland except Dundrum Bay, Killough Bay, Lough Foyle, Carlingford Lough, Larne Lough and Strangford Lough, which is listed in Annex I to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260 should, therefore, be removed from that list.












(7)


Annexes I and II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260 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 Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260 are replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.


Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.




Done at Brussels, 14 April 2023.
