The Annex to that Implementing Decision demarcates and lists certain areas of those Members States in Parts I, II, III and IV of that Annex differentiated by the level of risk based on the epidemiological situation. That list includes certain areas of Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. ---|--- (2) | Since February 2015, no outbreaks of African swine fever in domestic pigs have been notified in the areas of Poland that are listed in Part III of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU. In addition, supervision of biosecurity measures has been implemented in a satisfactory manner in holdings in those areas based on the national programme for biosecurity aimed at the prevention of the spread of African swine fever. These facts indicate an improvement in the epidemiological situation. Accordingly, those areas of that Member State should now be listed in Part II, instead of Part III, of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU. ---|--- (3) | In February 2016, one case of African swine fever in wild boar occurred in Estonia in the areas listed in Part II of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU, in close proximity to the areas listed in Part I of that Annex. Accordingly, certain areas listed in Part I should be listed in Part II of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU. ---|--- (4) | The evolution of the current epidemiological situation in the Union as regards African swine fever should be considered in the assessment of the risk represented by the animal health situation as regards that disease in Estonia and Poland. In order to focus animal health control measures and to prevent the further spread of African swine fever, as well as to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, the Union list of areas subject to the animal health control measures set out in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU should be amended to take into account the changes in the current epidemiological situation as regards that disease in Estonia and in Poland. ---|--- (5) | Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU should therefore be amended to modify the areas listed in Parts I and II of Estonia and in Parts II and III of Poland. ---|--- (6) | 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: Article 1 The Annex to Implementing Decision 2014/709/EU is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
