🇬🇧 English

This decision updates EU emergency controls for sheep pox and goat pox in Romania after an additional outbreak was reported. It sets the minimum protection and surveillance zones Romania must apply around affected areas to limit the spread of the disease among sheep and goats. Farmers, livestock transporters, traders, slaughterhouses, and authorities handling sheep, goats, and related products in or near the listed Romanian zones should expect movement controls and animal health checks. The decision also replaces two earlier EU decisions so the current restriction map is consolidated in one act.
