This regulation updates EU import rules for poultry, germinal products, fresh poultry meat, and game bird meat from Chile, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It amends the lists in Annexes V and XIV of Regulation (EU) 2021/404 to reflect current disease status, primarily concerning highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Specific zones or compartments in these countries are added, removed, or modified in the authorised lists for entry into the Union. The changes ensure that only regions free from outbreaks or meeting EU recovery periods can export to the EU. The regulation enters into force on 1 April 2026 and applies immediately to trade consignments.
