That compartment is no longer subject to an eradication programme for IPN and should, therefore, be removed from the list. ---|--- (4) | In addition, Denmark has notified the Commission that a new compartment within its territory has commenced an eradication programme for BKD. This compartment should, therefore, be added to the list of compartments that are subject to an eradication programme for BKD in Annex II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260. ---|--- (5) | Denmark has also notified the Commission that a compartment within its territory, which is listed in Annex II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260, has successfully completed an eradication programme for BKD and an eradication programme for IPN.

The territory of Northern Ireland except Dundrum Bay, Killough Bay, Lough Foyle, Carlingford Lough, Larne Lough and Strangford Lough, which is listed in Annex I to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260 should, therefore, be removed from that list. ---|--- (7) | Annexes I and II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260 should, therefore, be amended accordingly. ---|--- (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: Article 1 Annexes I and II to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/260 are replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.
