THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11 December 1989 concerning veterinary checks in intra-Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal market(1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,

Whereas:
Following the notification by Italy of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H7N7 in a holding in the commune of Ostellato, in the province of Ferrara in the Region Emilia-Romagna on 15 August 2013, the Commission adopted Implementing Decision 2013/439/EU(3) that lays down provisions for protection and surveillance zones to be established around the outbreak.
Due to a second outbreak of the disease in the commune of Mordano, in the province of Bologna in the Region of Emilia-Romagna, the Commission adopted Implementing Decision 2013/443/EU(4), which adapted the borders of the protection and surveillance zones and established further restricted zones. These zones were defined in Parts A, B and C of the Annex to that Decision. The occurrence of further disease outbreaks makes it necessary to adapt the zones under restrictions as defined by Parts A, B and C of the Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/443/EU.
The Annex to Implementing Decision 2013/443/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.
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:
