amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1160 concerning certain emergency measures relating
to sheep pox and goat pox in Bulgaria
(notified under document C(2026) 1318)

(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 the movements
of consignments of those animals and products thereof within the Union and exports to third countries. 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 keeping those animals.
(2) Commission Delegated Regulation 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. In addition, Article 21(1) of that
Delegated Regulation provides that the restricted zone is to comprise a protection zone, a surveillance zone, and, if
necessary, a further restricted zone around or adjacent to the protection and surveillance zones.
(3) Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1160(4)was adopted following outbreaks of sheep pox and goat pox
in Bulgaria, and it lays down emergency measures to be taken by that Member State. More particularly, Article 1 of
Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1160 provides that the protection, surveillance, and further restricted zones to be
established by Bulgaria, in accordance with Article 21 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, are to comprise at
least the areas listed in Parts A and B of Annex I to that Implementing Decision. It also provides that the emergency
measures required to be applied in those protection, surveillance, and further restricted zones are to be applied until
at least the dates listed in Parts A and B of that Annex.

(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) 2025/1160 of 5 June 2025 concerning certain emergency measures relating to sheep pox
and goat pox in Bulgaria and repealing Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/948 (OJ L, 2025/1160, 10.6.2025, ELI: http://data.europa.
eu/eli/dec_impl/2025/1160/oj).
ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2026/462/oj 1/10EN
OJ L, 27.2.2026
(4) Article 2, paragraph 1, of Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1160, as amended by Commission Implementing
Decision (EU) 2025/2492,(5) provides that Bulgaria shall prohibit, until the respective dates set out for the
protection, surveillance, and further restricted zones in Annex I, movements of sheep and goats from the protection
and surveillance zones to a destination located outside the external perimeter of a further restricted zone immediately
surrounding those protection and surveillance zones and movements of sheep and goats from a further restricted
zone to any destination located outside the external perimeter of such further restricted zone. Article 2, paragraph 2,
provides that Bulgaria shall prohibit, until the end of the time when protection zones must be established within the
external perimeter of a further restricted zone, movements of sheep and goats from those parts of the territory of
Bulgaria that are not listed as a protection, surveillance or further restricted zone in Annex I to a destination located
within the external perimeter of such further restricted zone. Article 2, paragraph 3, provides that Bulgaria shall
prohibit movements of sheep and goats from any part of its territory to a destination located outside Bulgaria until
31 March 2026.
(5) In addition, Article 3, first paragraph, of Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1160, as amended by Commission
Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1483(6), provides that Bulgaria shall apply the measures that are applicable to
further restricted zones, as provided for in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, to the areas listed in Annex II to
Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1160, and in accordance with the dates set out in that Annex. Article 3, second
paragraph, provides that Bulgaria shall prohibit movements of sheep and goats from the areas listed in Annex II to a
destination located outside the external perimeter of those areas until the dates set out in that Annex. Article 3, third
paragraph, as amended by Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/2492, provides that fresh meat and meat products
obtained from sheep and goats slaughtered in a further restricted zone following an exceptional authorisation
pursuant to the second paragraph of Article 2, paragraph 2, may only be moved and placed on the market within
the territory of Bulgaria.
(6) Since the last amendment of Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1160, by Commission Implementing Decision
(EU) 2026/289(7), Bulgaria has notified the Commission of one new outbreak of sheep pox and goat pox in an
establishment where ovine and caprine animals were kept, located in the region of Plovdiv, on 2 February 2026. In
response, Bulgaria has established protection and surveillance zones in the region of Plovdiv, in which the disease
control measures laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687 are being applied.
(7) In light of the current epidemiological situation as regards sheep pox and goat pox in Bulgaria, and the urgent need to
effectively mitigate the risk of the spread of that disease, both within that Member State and to other Member States,
it is crucial to update spatially the areas listed as protection and surveillance zones in Bulgaria, currently set out in
Annex I to the to Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1160. This amendment takes into account the current
epidemiological situation and addresses the risk posed by the potential spread of the disease beyond the currently
affected areas.
(8) Annex I to Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1160 should, therefore, be amended accordingly.
(9) The duration of the protection, surveillance and further restricted zones is based on the criteria set out in
Article 64(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429, and on the rules laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687. In
addition, the epidemiological situation regarding sheep pox and goat pox in the affected areas as well as the overall
epidemiological situation of sheep pox and goat pox in Bulgaria, and the level of risk for the further spread of that
disease within that Member State and in the Union is taken into account. Also, the duration of the measures
provided for by this Decision has been determined in line with the international standards set out in the Terrestrial
Animal Health Code of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH)(8).
