1.Member States shall ensure that, when Newcastle disease has been confirmed, the competent authority, in order to supplement the other control measures provided for in this Regulation, is able to specify a territorial area and period in which the prompt and systematic vaccination (emergency vaccination) of designated species of poultry shall be carried out under official control. A Member State applying emergency vaccination shall inform the Commission and other Member States within the framework of the standing veterinary committee, set up by Decision 68/361/EEC(1), about the Newcastle-disease situation and emergency vaccination programme.
2.In the case referred to in paragraph 1, the vaccination or re-vaccination of poultry on the holding subject to the restrictions referred to in Article 4 is prohibited.

(a)the designated species of poultry shall be vaccinated as soon as possible;
(b)all poultry of designated species born on or transferred to a holding inside the vaccination area must be or have been vaccinated;
(c)throughout the vaccination operation provided for in paragraph 1 all poultry of designated species kept on holdings inside the vaccination area must remain there except:
(c)day-old chicks moved to a holding inside the vaccination area where they shall be vaccinated;
poultry moved direct to a slaughterhouse for immediate slaughter. If the slaughterhouse is located outside the vaccination area the movement of poultry shall be permitted only after the official veterinarian has carried out a health inspection of the holding;
(d)when the vaccination operations provided for in (a) have been completed movements out of the vaccination area may be authorized for:
