Whereas, following the outbreak of classical swine fever which occurred successively in several Member States, the Council adopted, on 31 August 1983, under Decision 83/453/EEC (3), certain protection measures against classical swine fever, to be applied for various periods depending on the risk of the spread of the disease;
Whereas, since that time, the development of the disease has required a number of changes as regards the area to which the measures in respect of intra-Community trade in live pigs apply;
Whereas the persistence and the increase in the number of new outbreaks in certain parts of the territory of the Netherlands have led to the creation of new zones of emergency vaccination and necessitated the extension to these parts of the Netherlands of the measures to be applied to trade in live pigs;
Whereas the improvement of the situation as regards the disease in Belgium and Italy justifies the lifting of the restrictions hitherto applicable to those two States;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Decision 83/453/EEC is hereby amended as follows:
1. The wording referred to in Article 3 is replaced by the following:
'Animals conforming to Decision 83/453/EEC, as last amended by Decision 84/459/EEC.'
2. The zones relating to the Kingdom of the Netherlands outlined in the Annex are replaced by the following zones:
'The parts of the territory where systematic emergency vaccination has been carried out; for the rest of the territory a zone of five-kilometre radius around all outbreaks of classical swine fever.'
3. In the Annex:
'The Kingdom of Belgium:
A zone of five-kilometre radius around all outbreaks of classical swine fever.' and

The province of Perugia; for the rest of the territory a zone of five-kilometre radius around all outbreaks of classical swine fever.' are deleted.
The Member States shall amend the measures they apply to trade so that they comply with this Decision. They shall immediately inform the Commission thereof.
