This regulation modifies the zones designated for African Swine Fever (ASF) control within several EU member states. It amends Annex I of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023\/594, which originally set out special disease control measures. Due to recent ASF outbreaks, the regulation adjusts the boundaries of restricted zones (Zones I, II, and III) in Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Italy, Czechia and Greece, Croatia, Lithuania, and Romania. The aim is to prevent further spread of the disease through revised geographical control measures, particularly impacting farmers, animal health authorities, and transport companies operating in the affected regions.<\/p>\n
This regulation cancels the Union authorization for the biocidal product \u2018Nordkalk QL 0-0,1\u2019, initially granted to Nordkalk AB. The cancellation was requested by the company due to commercial reasons connected to the product’s discontinued production. It also repeals the earlier Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024\/1478 that had originally authorized the product. The regulation sets deadlines for the product’s removal from the market (March 31, 2026) and the end of its usage (September 27, 2026).<\/p>\n

\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
\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 * **Justification**: The changes are based on the epidemiological situation, the overall risk level, and scientific principles for geographically defining zoning, as outlined in the Commission Notice on ASF guidelines.
\n * **Entry into Force**: The regulation enters into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.<\/p>\n
\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.
\n * **Reference to Guidelines**: The regulation refers to the Commission Notice on ASF guidelines, indicating that these guidelines should be consulted for the implementation of control measures.<\/p>\n
