#32026D1217EU updates emergency zones for sheep pox and goat pox in Romania
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decision updates the EU emergency measures for sheep pox and goat pox in Romania after Romania reported two additional outbreaks in May 2026. It amends the earlier EU decision so Romania’s restricted areas cover the newly affected locations and related protection and surveillance zones. The practical impact is on sheep and goat farms, animal transporters, traders, slaughterhouses, and authorities handling animal-health controls. Businesses in or near the restricted zones should expect movement limits, tighter checks, and compliance duties to continue for the areas and dates listed in the updated annex.
