1. **Essence of the Act**:
\n Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025\/1882 amends Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023\/594, which lays down special disease control measures for African swine fever (ASF). This amendment updates the demarcation of restricted zones (I, II, and III) in certain Member States based on recent outbreaks of ASF. The changes aim to prevent the further spread of the disease by adjusting the geographical areas under specific control measures.<\/p>\n
2. **Structure and Main Provisions**:<\/p>\n
* **Amending Act**: The regulation amends Annex I of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023\/594.
\n * **Restricted Zones**: It redefines the restricted zones I, II, and III in Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Italy, Czechia and Greece, Croatia, Lithuania, and Romania. These zones are categorized based on the risk level of ASF spread.
\n * **Specific Amendments**:
\n * **Estonia**: Adjustments due to new outbreaks in Viljandi county, leading to the reclassification of certain areas from restricted zone II to III.
\n * **Latvia**: Changes in Zemgales, R\u012bgas, and Vidzemes counties, with areas moving from restricted zone II to III due to new outbreaks.
\n * **Poland**: Modifications in Zachodniopomorskie and Lubelskie regions, upgrading areas from restricted zone II to III. Additionally, an area in Kujawsko-Pomorskie region is moved from restricted zone I to II following an outbreak in a wild porcine animal.

\n * **Control Measures**: Depending on the zone classification, specific disease control measures apply. These measures are outlined in the original Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023\/594 and are triggered by the zone designations in Annex I.
\n * **Compliance**: Member States with areas listed in Annex I must implement the special disease control measures to prevent the spread of African swine fever.
