Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687 of 17 December 2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards rules for the prevention and control of certain listed diseases (Text with EEA Relevance). |
Summary |
The notified Regulation supplements rules that are already laid down in the EU Animal Health Law (Regulation (EU) 2016/429) concerning the prevention and control of certain listed diseases in the EU. The rules laid down in this Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2020/687) set out disease control measures, which will apply in the Union in case of outbreaks of animal diseases with serious effects on the livestock. This Regulation is largely 'taking over' rules currently laid down in existing Union acts establishing the disease control measures in the event of such animal diseases occurring in the EU. It incorporates new available scientific knowledge, based on the opinions from EFSA, gained experience and updates the conditions in line with the new EU animal health policy framework and international standards. In that regard it lays down the rules for certain animal diseases as regards:
(a) disease control measures in the event of suspicion and official confirmation of a disease in kept terrestrial and aquaculture animals in the EU;
(b) the establishment of restricted zones in the event of official confirmation of a disease in kept animals in the EU;
(c) disease control measures and the repopulation of the restricted zones in the event of official confirmation of a disease in the EU;
(d) disease control measures in the event of suspicion and official confirmation of a disease in wild terrestrial and aquatic animals in the EU;
