Abstract

This Regulation makes amendments in the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/688 to address the new epidemiological situation as regards infection with epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus while continuing the prevention of its spreading on account of movements of kept or wild terrestrial animals between Member States. This Regulation introduces two new risk-mitigating measures: (I) the establishment of zones seasonally free from infection with epizootic haemorrhagic disease and (II) the use of vector protected establishments, that are applicable to the movements from areas surrounding outbreaks of infection with epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus.
