AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation updates EU zoning for African swine fever (ASF) control. It removes the infected zone in Poland's Łódzkie region from Annex II Part A and reclassifies it as restricted zones I and II in Annex I due to ongoing outbreaks in wild boars. In Hungary, it upgrades certain restricted zone I areas in Baranya County to restricted zone II and redefines boundaries following new wild boar outbreaks. It also adds new restricted zone I areas in Croatia near the Hungarian border due to proximity risk. Additionally, it corrects erroneous listings of Spanish territories in Catalonia that were mistakenly placed in restricted zone I. The changes reflect updated epidemiological data and aim to prevent further spread of ASF across the Union.
