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 Articles 230(1), 232(1) and 232(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) 2016/429 requires that consignments of animals, germinal products and products of animal origin
must come from a third country or territory, or zone or compartment thereof, listed in accordance with Article
230(1) of that Regulation in order to enter the Union.
(2) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692(2) lays down the animal health requirements with which
consignments of certain species and categories of animals, germinal products and products of animal origin from
third countries or territories, or zones thereof, or compartments thereof, in the case of aquaculture animals, must
comply with in order to enter the Union.
(3) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404(3) establishes the lists of third countries, or territories, or
zones or compartments thereof, from which the entry into the Union of the species and categories of animals,
germinal products and products of animal origin falling within the scope of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 is
permitted.
(4) More particularly, Annexes V and XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 set out the lists of third countries,
or territories, or zones thereof authorised for the entry into the Union, respectively, of consignments of poultry,
germinal products of poultry, and of fresh meat from poultry and game birds.
(5) The United States notified the Commission of two outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry: one
outbreak is located in the state of Idaho, United States and the other in the state of Michigan, United States and they
were confirmed on 10 May 2022by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR).
(6) In addition, the United States notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in
poultry. The outbreak is located in the state of Minnesota, United States, and was confirmed on 11 May 2022 by
laboratory analysis (RT-PCR).
(7) Moreover, the United States notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry.
The outbreak is located in the state of Wisconsin, United States, and was confirmed on 13 May 2022by laboratory
analysis (RT-PCR).
(1) OJ L 84, 31.3.2016, p. 1.
(2) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 of 30 January 2020 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European
Parliament and of the Council as regards rules for entry into the Union, and the movement and handling after entry of consignments
of certain animals, germinal products and products of animal origin (OJ L 174, 3.6.2020, p. 379).
(3) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 of 24 March 2021 laying down the lists of third countries, territories or zones
thereof from which the entry into the Union of animals, germinal products and products of animal origin is permitted in accordance
with Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 114, 31.3.2021, p. 1).31.5.2022 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 148/27
(8) Additionally, the United States notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in
poultry. The outbreak is located in the state of Pennsylvania, United States, and was confirmed on 14 May 2022by
laboratory analysis (RT-PCR).
(9) The veterinary authorities of the United States established a 10 km control zone around the affected establishments
and implemented a stamping-out policy in order to control the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza and
limit the spread of that disease.
(10) The United States have submitted information to the Commission on the epidemiological situation on their territory
and the measures they have taken to prevent the further spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza. That
information has been evaluated by the Commission. On the basis of that evaluation and in order to protect the
animal health status of the Union, the entry into the Union of consignments of poultry, germinal products of
poultry, and fresh meat from poultry and game birds from the areas under restrictions established by the veterinary
authorities of the United States due to the recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza should no longer be
authorised.
(11) Moreover, the United Kingdom has submitted updated information on the epidemiological situation on its territory
in relation to six outbreaks of HPAI in poultry establishments: two outbreaks near Leeming Bar, Hambleton, North
Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom, confirmed on 14 and 24 November 2021, two outbreaks near Willington,
South Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, United Kingdom, confirmed on 19 November 2021 and 11 December
2021, one outbreak near Clitheroe, Ribble Valley, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom, confirmed on
28 November 2021 and one outbreak near Watlington, King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, England, United
Kingdom, confirmed on 26 December 2021. The United Kingdom has also submitted the measures it has taken to
prevent the further spread of that disease. In particular, following these outbreaks of HPAI, the United Kingdom has
implemented a stamping out policy in order to control and limit the spread of that disease. In addition, the United
Kingdom completed the requisite cleaning and disinfection measures following the implementation of the stamping
out policy on the infected poultry establishments on its territory.
(12) The Commission has evaluated the information submitted by the United Kingdom and concluded that the HPAI
outbreaks near Leeming Bar, Hambleton, North Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom, near Willington, South
Derbyshire, Derbyshire, England, United Kingdom, near Clitheroe, Ribble Valley, Lancashire, England, United
Kingdom and near Watlington, King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom in poultry
establishments have been cleared and that there is no longer any risk associated with the entry into the Union of
poultry commodities from the zones of the United Kingdom from which the entry into the Union of poultry
commodities have been suspended due to these outbreaks.
(13) Annexes V and XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 should be therefore amended accordingly.
(14) Taking into account the current epidemiological situation in the United States as regards highly pathogenic avian
influenza and the serious risk of its introduction into the Union, the amendments to be made to Implementing
Regulation (EU) 2021/404 by this Regulation should take effect as a matter of urgency.
(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on
Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
