COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2025/640
of 25 March 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) 1941)

(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 population 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. More particularly, 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/2025/640/oj 1/10EN
OJ L, 28.3.2025
(5) Since the last amendment of Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2207, Greece has notified the Commission of six
new outbreaks of sheep pox and goat pox in establishments where ovine and caprine animals were kept, in the
regional units of Thessaloniki, Aetolia–Acarnania, and Phocis, as well as on the island of Samothrace in the regional
unit of Evros.
(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 and 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 set out 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 the current epidemiological situation, there is a high risk of the further
spread of the disease, as an outbreak appeared in the regional unit of Thessaloniki, outside the limits of the restricted
zone currently in place and outbreaks continue to be reported in the regional units of Aetolia-Acarnania and Phocis
more than four months since the reports of the first outbreaks in those regional units, as well as on the island of
Samothrace in the regional unit of Evros, more than two months since the report of the first outbreak on this
island, a fact suggesting that the disease continues to circulate, in spite of the measures already put in place.
(8) In addition, in view of the occurrence of the six new outbreaks of sheep pox and goat pox in Greece during the past
two weeks, it is also necessary to prolong the prohibition on the movements of sheep and goats from the entire
territory of Greece, to a destination located outside Greece until 31 May 2025, in order to avoid the spread of the
disease to the rest of the Union and to third countries, as well as any unjustified barriers to trade being imposed by
third countries.
(9) Taking into account the current epidemiological situation in the Union as regards sheep pox and goat pox, the
period of application of Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/2207 should be prolonged until 15 December 2025.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants,
Animals, Food and Feed,
