That Decision provides for the establishment of areas according to the lower (section 1 of Annex I A, I B and I C) or higher (section 2 of Annex I A, I B and I C) level of risk observed. In view of the epidemiological situation and environmental factors, it is necessary to demarcate in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 8(2)(d) the whole of the areas where in each Member State concerned protection and surveillance zones shall be established, while providing the conditions applicable to the movements of animals derogating from the restrictions applicable pursuant to the higher or lower level of risk observed.
(2) As regards Italy, the surveillance programme has demonstrated seroconversion in Campobasso and Chieti provinces, indicating the presence of the bluetongue virus.
(3) Therefore these two provinces should be added to the protection and surveillance zones in Italy.
(4) In view of the level of virus circulation and the vaccination coverage in the provinces of Campobasso and Chieti, they should both be considered as lower risk areas and inserted in section 1 of Annex I B to Decision 2003/218/EC.
(5) Decision 2003/218/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
