Regulation (EU) 2016/429 in Article 5 and Annex II establishes a harmonised list of transmissible animal diseases ('listed diseases') which pose a risk to animal or public health in the Union. Those listed diseases require different management approaches, set out in Article 9 of the basic regulation, which depend on the seriousness of their impact on public or animal health, economy, society or the environment. The basic regulation sets out predefined criteria for the categorisation  of listed disease in order to lay  down  which  listed  diseases  are  to  be  subject  to  which  management  measures. This Commission  Implementing  Regulation  assigns  the  above  referred  categories  of measures to listed diseases, based on pre-set criteria.
In  addition,  the  rules  for  the  prevention  and  control  of  a  specific  transmissible  animal disease should apply to species of animals, which can transmit the disease in question, in accordance with the criteria set out in Article 8 of the basic regulation. This implementing regulation  assigns  to  each  listed  disease  a  list  of  such  animal  species  to  which  the measures for specific listed diseases will apply in the Union ('listed species').
The date of application of this Regulation is 21 April 2021.
