Okay, I will provide you with a detailed description of the provisions of this act.
### Description of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1924
This regulation amends Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/594, which lays down special disease control measures for African swine fever (ASF). The key purpose of this amendment is to update and redefine the restricted zones (I, II, and III) within certain Member States based on the most recent epidemiological situation of ASF. The changes respond to new outbreaks in both kept and wild porcine animals, as well as improvements in disease control in specific regions.
### Structure, Main Provisions, and Changes
The regulation consists of two articles and an annex:
* **Article 1:** Specifies that Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/594 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to the new regulation.
* **Article 2:** States the regulation’s entry into force, which is the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
* **Annex:** Provides the updated list of restricted zones I, II, and III for specific Member States.
**Main changes:**
* **Croatia:** Adjusts restricted zones I and III due to new outbreaks in kept porcine animals.
* **Latvia:** Modifies restricted zones II and III following outbreaks in kept porcine animals.
* **Lithuania:** Updates restricted zones I and II due to new outbreaks in wild porcine animals.
* **Poland:** Redefines restricted zones II and III following outbreaks in both kept and wild porcine animals.
* **Czechia:** Removes certain areas from restricted zones I and II due to the absence of ASF outbreaks for the past twelve months.
* **Germany:** Reclassifies certain zones from restricted zones II to I and removes other zones from restricted zone I due to the absence of ASF outbreaks.
* **Italy:** Changes the classification of certain zones from restricted zone III to I and II, and removes some zones from restricted zone III due to the absence of ASF outbreaks.
### Main Provisions for Use
The most important provisions for use are the updated annexes, which define the restricted zones. These zones are critical because they determine the specific disease control measures that must be applied by Member States. Key implications include:
* **Geographical Scope:** The precise geographical boundaries of the restricted zones are defined, which directly impacts which regions are subject to specific control measures.
* **Control Measures:** Depending on the zone (I, II, or III), different levels of restrictions apply, affecting the movement of live pigs and pork products, as well as biosecurity and surveillance measures.
* **Member State Obligations:** Member States with areas listed in Annex I must implement the special disease control measures as outlined in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/594.
