Poland has informed the Commission of the current African swine fever situation in its territory. In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbances to trade within the European Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade by third countries, it is necessary to establish, in collaboration with the Member State concerned, a list of the regions infected with African swine fever in Poland.
In the face of the appearance of the first outbreak, the Commission published a Decision in which it specified the affected regions, and that was applicable until March 14th. Because it has expired, the Commission has published the Decision 2014/134/UE, in which it specifies, once more, the infected regions in Poland, and that will be applicable until April 30th.
The regions are:
- in voivodship podlaskie: the poviat sejneński; in poviat augustowski, the municipalities of Płaska, Lipsk and Sztabin; the poviat sokólski;
- in poviat białostocki, the municipalities Czarna Białostocka, Supraśl, Zabłudów, Michałowo and Gródek; and the poviats hajnowski, bielski and siemiatycki,
- in voivodship mazowieckie: the poviat łosicki,
- in voivodship lubelskie: the poviats bialski, Biała Podlaska and włodawski.
