THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-Community trade in bovine animals and swine(1), and in particular Article 8, Article 9(2) and Article 10(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2001/618/EC of 23 July 2001 on additional guarantees in intra-Community trade of pigs relating to Aujeszky’s disease, criteria to provide information on this disease and repealing Decisions 93/24/EEC and 93/244/EEC(2) has been substantially amended several times(3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Decision should be codified.
(2) The International Office of Epizootic Diseases (OIE) is the international organisation designated under the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures in application of GATT 1994 which is responsible for the establishment of international animal health rules for trade in animals and animal products. These rules are published in the International Animal Health Code.
(3) The chapter of the International Animal Health Code on Aujeszky’s disease has been substantially amended.
(4) It is appropriate to modify the additional guarantees required in intra-Community trade of pigs in relation to Aujeszky’s disease in order to ensure their consistency with the international rules on this disease and better control in the Community.
(5) Criteria must be established on the information to be provided by the Member States on Aujeszky’s disease, in accordance with Article 8 of Directive 64/432/EEC.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
[F1Great Britain is free of Aujeszky's disease and vaccination is prohibited in Great Britain. The member States or regions of such States that are recognised as free from the disease are listed in Annex I, and those that are not free but have EU approved Aujeszky's disease eradication plans in place are listed in Annex II. Pigs intended for breeding or production dispatched to Great Britain must come from a member State or region thereof listed in Annex I or must comply with the following additional conditions:]
Aujeszky’s disease must be compulsorily notifiable in the Member State of origin;
a plan for the control and eradication of Aujeszky’s disease, fulfilling the criteria laid down in Article 9(1) of Directive 64/432/EEC, must be in place in the Member State or regions of origin under the supervision of the competent authority. Appropriate measures on pig transport and movements must be in place according to this plan for preventing a spread of disease between holdings of a different status;
with regard to the holding of origin of the pigs:
no clinical, pathological or serological evidence of Aujeszky’s disease has been recorded in the previous 12 months in the holding in question;
no clinical, pathological or serological evidence of Aujeszky’s disease has been recorded in the previous 12 months in the holdings located in an area of 5 km surrounding the holding of origin of the pigs; however, this provision shall not apply if, in these latter holdings, disease monitoring and eradication measures have been regularly applied under the supervision of the competent authority and in accordance with the eradication plan referred to in point (2), and these measures have effectively prevented any spread of disease to the holding in question;
vaccination against Aujeszky’s disease has not been carried out for at least 12 months;
the pigs have been subjected on at least two occasions at an interval of at least four months to a serological survey for the presence of ADV-gE or ADV-gB or ADV-gD antibody or to the whole Aujeszky’s disease virus. This survey must have shown the absence of Aujeszky’s disease and that vaccinated pigs have been free from gE antibodies;
no pigs have been introduced from holdings of a lower animal health status as regards Aujeszky’s disease in the previous 12 months, unless they have been tested for Aujeszky’s disease with negative results;
the pigs to be moved:
have not been vaccinated;
have been kept isolated in accommodation approved by the competent authority, during the 30 days prior to movement, and in such a way that any risk of spreading Aujeszky’s disease to these pigs is prevented;
must have lived in the holding of origin or in a holding of an equivalent status since birth, and have remained in the holding of origin for at least:
30 days, in the case of pigs intended for production;
90 days, in the case of pigs intended for breeding;
have been subjected with negative results to at least two serological tests for ADV-gB or ADV-gD or the whole Aujeszky’s disease virus, at a distance of at least 30 days between each test. However, in case of pigs less than four months old, the serological test for ADV-gE may also be used. Sampling for the last test must be performed within 15 days prior to shipment. The number of pigs tested in the isolation unit must be sufficient to detect:
2 % seroprevalence with 95 % confidence in the isolation unit in case of pigs intended for production;
0,1 % seroprevalence with 95 % confidence in the isolation unit in case of pigs intended for breeding.
However, the first of the two tests shall not be necessary if:
in the framework of the plan referred to in point (2), a serological survey has been carried out in the holding of origin between 45 and 170 days prior to shipment, demonstrating the absence of Aujeszky’s disease antibodies and that vaccinated pigs have been free from gE antibodies;
the pigs to be moved have lived in the holding of origin since birth;
no pigs have moved on to the holding of origin while the pigs to be moved have been kept in isolation.

[F2Pigs intended for slaughter dispatched to Great Britain must come from a member State or region thereof listed in Annex I or must comply with the following additional conditions:]
Aujeszky’s disease must be compulsorily notifiable in the Member State of origin;
a plan for the control and eradication of Aujeszky’s disease is in place in the Member State or regions of origin of the pigs, fulfilling the criteria laid down in Article 1(2);
all the pigs in question must be transported directly to the slaughterhouse of destination and either:
they come from a holding which fulfils the conditions laid down in Article 1(3); or
they have been vaccinated against Aujeszky’s disease at least 15 days prior to their shipment and come from a holding of origin where:
in the framework of the plan referred to in point (2), Aujeszky’s disease monitoring and eradication measures have been regularly applied under the supervision of the competent authority for the previous 12 months;
they had remained for at least 30 days before dispatch and where no clinical or pathological evidence of this disease has been detected at the moment of completion of the health certificate [F3accompanying the consignment]; or
they have not been vaccinated and they proceed from a holding where:
in the framework of the plan referred to in point 2, Aujeszky’s disease monitoring and eradication measures have been regularly applied under the supervision of the competent authority in the previous 12 months and no clinical, pathological or serological evidence of Aujeszky’s disease has been recorded in the previous six months;
vaccination against Aujeszky’s disease and introduction of vaccinated pigs have been forbidden by the competent authority, since the holding is in the process of reaching the highest status as regards Aujeszky’s disease in accordance to the plan referred to in point (2);
they have lived for at least 90 days before dispatch.
