(2) Commission Decision 2006/274/EC of 6 April 2006 concerning certain protection measures relating to classical swine fever in Germany and repealing Decision 2006/254/EC (2) was adopted in order to maintain and extent the measures taken by Germany pursuant to Council Directive 2001/89/EC of 23 October 2001 on Community measures for the control of classical swine fever (3).

(5) Decision 2006/274/EC should 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,
Decision 2006/274/EC is amended as follows:
In Article 2, the following third paragraph is added:
‘3.   By way derogation from paragraph 1(a) the competent authority may authorise the direct transport of pigs from a holding situated within a surveillance zone to a designated holding in which no pigs are present and which is situated within the same surveillance zone, provided that:
— this movement takes place in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 11, paragraphs (1) point (f) and (2) Directive 2001/89/EC;
— the examinations provided for in Chapter IV (D) (2) of the Annex to Decision 2002/106/EC have been completed with negative results on the holding from which the pigs are dispatched.
The German authorities shall record the above movements and inform immediately the Commission thereof in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health’.

Whereas:
(1) Council Decision 2002/274/EC of 25 March 2002 concluding consultations with Liberia under Articles 96 and 97 of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement(2) provides for the adoption of the appropriate measures within the meaning of Article 96(2)(c) and of Article 97(3) of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement.

The measures specified in the annexed draft letter addressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Liberia are hereby adopted as appropriate measures in a case of special urgency within the meaning of Article 96(2)(b) and (c) of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement.
