## Policy Analysis Report: Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1083 - Amendment to Emergency Measures Relating to Sheep Pox and Goat Pox in Greece
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1083 of 22 May 2025. This decision amends Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2207, which concerns emergency measures related to sheep pox and goat pox in Greece. The amendment adjusts the restricted zones (protection, surveillance, and further restricted zones) and the duration of measures applied within those zones, due to new outbreaks reported in May 2025. The core purpose of this amendment is to prevent the further spread of sheep pox and goat pox within Greece and the rest of the European Union. Key findings indicate an extension and modification of restricted areas, reflecting the ongoing epidemiological challenges in controlling the disease.
**2. Introduction:**
This report provides an informative analysis of Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1083, focusing on the changes it introduces to the existing emergency measures concerning sheep pox and goat pox in Greece. This analysis is based solely on the text of the provided policy document.
**3. Policy Overview:**
* **Original Policy Being Amended:** Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2207.
* **Core Objective(s) (Inferred from Text):** The primary objective of the amendment is to contain and prevent the further spread of sheep pox and goat pox in Greece and across the EU by adjusting and extending the application of emergency measures.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
This amendment is a response to twenty new outbreaks of sheep pox and goat pox reported in Greece between May 6th and May 16th, 2025, in several regional units. The existing measures outlined in Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2207 are deemed insufficient to contain the disease spread effectively. Therefore, the amendment adjusts the geographical scope and duration of the restricted zones to align with the evolving epidemiological situation. The text indicates that the disease continues to circulate despite previously implemented measures, necessitating more stringent and geographically adapted controls.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**
This section details the specific changes introduced by Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1083:
* **Specific Part of Original Policy Changed:** The Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2207, which lists the protection, surveillance, and further restricted zones in Greece, is entirely replaced by the Annex to this amending Decision.
* **New Rule/Provision:** The new Annex defines revised protection and surveillance zones in several regional units, including Phocis, Aetolia-Acarnania, Chalkidiki, Kavala, Xanthi, Evros, Rhodopi, Larisa, Pieria, Magnesia and Phthiotis, specifying geographic coordinates and radii for the zones and ADIS reference numbers of the outbreaks. It also outlines new further restricted zones in the regional units of Chalkidiki and Aetolia-Acarnania. The dates until which the measures are applicable in each zone are also specified.
* **Difference/Effect of Change:** The amendment expands and adjusts the existing restricted zones based on the new outbreaks. The previous Annex defined a specific set of restricted zones, while the new Annex defines an updated set of zones with new geographic specifications, extended application durations and newly affected regions. The amended policy defines the application of more stringent measures in the newly-affected regional units, including Chalkidiki, Aetolia-Acarnania, Kavala and Xanthi.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
The primary target audience and stakeholders directly affected by this amendment include:
* Farmers and livestock owners in the affected regional units of Greece (Phocis, Aetolia-Acarnania, Chalkidiki, Kavala, Xanthi, Evros, Rhodopi, Larisa, Pieria, Magnesia and Phthiotis) who raise sheep and goats.
* Regional and national veterinary authorities in Greece responsible for implementing and enforcing the emergency measures.
* Businesses involved in the trade and movement of sheep, goats, and their products within Greece and to other EU member states.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** The Hellenic Republic (Greece) is directly addressed in the decision and is responsible for implementing the measures. The European Commission oversees the implementation and monitors the situation.
* **Timelines/Procedures:** The amendment specifies the dates until which the measures in each zone are applicable, providing a clear timeline for implementation. The delimitation of zones is determined through circles with radii of 3 km and 10 km, which should be implemented in the affected regions.
* **Specific Changes:** The implementation will require Greek authorities to immediately adjust their zoning maps and enforcement activities to reflect the revised Annex. This includes informing stakeholders within the new zones about the applicable restrictions.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The likely intended outcome of these specific changes is to:
* More effectively contain and eradicate the ongoing outbreaks of sheep pox and goat pox in the affected regions of Greece.
* Prevent the further spread of the disease to unaffected areas within Greece and to other EU member states, thus safeguarding the EU's livestock industry.
* Minimize the economic impact on farmers and businesses affected by the outbreaks by controlling the disease more effectively.
**9. Conclusion:**
Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1083 represents a crucial update to the emergency measures addressing sheep pox and goat pox in Greece. By revising the restricted zones and extending the duration of applicable measures, it aims to provide a more effective response to the evolving epidemiological situation. The amendment underscores the importance of ongoing surveillance and adaptability in managing animal disease outbreaks to protect both animal health and the economic interests of the livestock industry within the European Union.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION(EU) 2025/1083
of 22 May 2025
amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2207 concerning certain emergency measures relating
to sheep pox and goat pox in Greece
(notified under document C(2025) 3430)
(Only the Greek text is authentic)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on
transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (‘Animal Health
Law’)(1), and in particular Article 259(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Sheep pox and goat pox is an infectious viral disease affecting caprine and ovine animals and it can have a severe
impact on the concerned animal populations and the profitability of farming causing disturbance to movements of
consignments of those animals and products thereof within the Union and exports to third countries.
(2) In the event of an outbreak of sheep pox and goat pox in caprine or ovine animals, there is a serious risk of the spread
of that disease to other establishments of caprine or ovine animals.
(3) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687(2) supplements the rules for the control of the listed diseases
referred to in Article 9(1), points (a), (b) and (c), of Regulation (EU) 2016/429, and defined as category A, B and C
diseases in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1882(3). In particular, Articles 21 and 22 of Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2020/687 provide for the establishment of a restricted zone in the event of an outbreak of a category
A disease, including sheep pox and goat pox, and for certain measures to be applied therein. Article 21(1) of that
Delegated Regulation provides that the restricted zone is to comprise a protection zone, a surveillance zone, and, if
necessary, further restricted zones around or adjacent to the protection and surveillance zones.
(4) In order to address outbreaks of sheep pox and goat pox in Greece, notified in August 2024, the Commission
adopted Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2207(4), which lays down certain emergency measures
relating to that disease in Greece. In particular, it provides that the protection, surveillance, and further restricted
zones to be established by that Member State, in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, are to
comprise at least the areas listed in the Annex to that Implementing Decision.
(1) OJ L 84, 31.3.2016, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/429/oj.
(2) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687 of 17 December 2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European
Parliament and the Council, as regards rules for the prevention and control of certain listed diseases (OJ L 174, 3.6.2020, p. 64, ELI:
http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2020/687/oj).
(3) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1882 of 3 December 2018 on the application of certain disease prevention and
control rules to categories of listed diseases and establishing a list of species and groups of species posing a considerable risk for the
spread of those listed diseases (OJ L 308, 4.12.2018, p. 21, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2018/1882/oj).
(4) Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2207 of 29 August 2024 concerning certain emergency measures relating to sheep
pox and goat pox in Greece (OJ L, 2024/2207, 30.8.2024, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2024/2207/oj).
ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2025/1083/oj 1/8EN
OJ L, 28.5.2025
(5) Since the last amendment of Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2207, Greece has notified the Commission of twenty
new outbreaks of sheep pox and goat pox, which were reported between 6 May and 16 May 2025, in establishments
where ovine and caprine animals were kept, in the regional units of Chalkidiki, Aetolia-Acarnania. Phocis, Xanthi and
Kavala.
(6) Therefore, the areas listed as protection, surveillance, and further restricted zones for Greece in the Annex to
Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2207, as well as the duration of the measures applicable therein, should be
adjusted in order to prevent the further spread of the disease in Greece or to the rest of the Union. Accordingly, it is
necessary to amend the list of restricted zones, and the duration of the measures to be applied therein, set out in the
Annex to that Implementing Decision.
(7) The size of the protection, surveillance, and further restricted zones, and the duration of the measures to be applied
therein, is based on the criteria laid down in Article 64(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429, as well as the rules laid
down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687. The criteria applied for the choice of the size of the protection,
surveillance, and further restricted zones, as well as of the duration of the measures to be applied therein, include a
consideration of not only the epidemiological situation as regards sheep pox and goat pox in the areas affected by
that disease, but also of the overall epidemiological situation of sheep pox and goat pox in the entire territory of the
Member State concerned by that disease, as well as the level of risk for the further spread of the disease. The chosen
duration of the measures has also taken into account the international standards of the Terrestrial Animal Health
Code of the World Organisation for Animal Health(5). In light of the current epidemiological situation, there is a
high risk of further spread of the disease as outbreaks continue to be reported in regional units such as Chalkidiki,
Aetolia-Acarnania, Phocis, Xanthi and Kavala, a fact suggesting that the disease continues to circulate despite the
measures already put in place in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687.
(8) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants,
Animals, Food and Feed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
