DRAFT Commission Decision voted

The new DRAFT amends the annexes to Decision 2007/554/EC.

The only areas still restricted are the ones included in the surveillance zone established by UK authorities in Surrey.

As indicated in the Commission press release, the measures will be applicable until 15 September 2008 and will be possibly reviewed at the next Committee on 11 September. The Decision will be adopted tomorrow and published on Saturday.

As already mentioned, note that the requirements for:

• the official certificate that has to accompany meat and other products and
• the specific wording to be added to the health certificate accompanying live susceptible animals coming from the non-restricted parts of UK still remain applicable.
