Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/320 of 28 February 2018 on certain animal health protection measures for intra-Union trade in salamanders and the introduction into the Union of such animals in relation to the fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Text with EEA relevance). |
Summary |
Animal health protection measures for intra-Union trade in consignments of salamanders and the introduction of such consignments into the Union on the taxonomic order of Caudata, in order to ensure that the fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) is not spread by such international trade in those animals. These measures take into account risk mitigation measures referred to in an EFSA Assistance (see below under point 9) and in particular provide for the appropriate quarantine, diagnostic testing and treatment of salamanders as well as for certification of their health status for their trade in and introduction into the Union. These measures are of temporary and emergency nature. A list of non-EU countries authorised for introduction into the Union of consignments of salamanders is also established.
