Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/605 laying down special control measures for African swine fever.

This Regulation lays down special disease control measures for a limited period of time, under conditions appropriate to the epidemiological situation of African swine fever in the Union. This Regulation applies to: (a) the movements of consignments of porcine animals kept in establishments located in restricted zones I, II and III outside those zones; germinal products, products of animal origin and animal by-products obtained from kept porcine animals;(b) the movements of consignments of wild porcine animals in all Member States; consignments and movements for private use by hunters of products of animal origin and animal by-products obtained from wild porcine in the restricted zones I, II and III or processed in establishments located in restricted zones I, II and III;(c) food business operators handling consignments referred to in points (a) and (b); and (d) all Member States concerning awareness raising on African swine fever. The restricted zones are listed in Annex I and may be amended due to the level of risk for the spread of African swine fever and the overall epidemiological situation of African swine fever in the Member State concerned and in the neighbouring areas. Moreover, the Annex II lists reinforced biosecurity measures for establishments of kept porcine animals located in restricted zones I, II and III.
