COMMISSION DECISION of 21 June 2007 amending Decision 2006/415/EC concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza of the subtype H5 in poultry in the Czech Republic (notified under document number C(2007) 3120) (Text with EEA relevance) (2007/434/EC) 

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market, and in particular Article 9(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market, and in particular Article 10(3) thereof,
Whereas:

(1) Commission Decision 2006/415/EC of 14 June 2006 concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza of the subtype H5N1 in poultry in the Community and repealing Decision 2006/135/EC lays down certain protection measures to prevent the spread of the avian influenza into the disease-free parts of the Community through the movement of birds as well as products thereof.

(2) The Czech Republic has notified an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5 in poultry on its territory and has taken the appropriate measures in the framework of Decision 2006/415/EC, including the establishment of Areas A and B as provided for in Article 4 of that Decision.

(3) The Commission is satisfied that the boundaries of Areas A and B established by the competent authority of the Czech Republic are at a sufficient distance from the actual location of the outbreak. Areas A and B in the Czech Republic can therefore be confirmed and the duration of that regionalisation fixed.

(4) It is therefore necessary to amend Decision 2006/415/EC accordingly.

(5) The measures provided for in this Decision should be reviewed at the next meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
