Amendment to Regulation (EU) 2020/686

This procedure updates rules on controlling animal diseases within the EU. It specifically addresses bluetongue virus (serotypes 1-24), epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus, and contagious equine metritis. The aim is to ensure consistent and effective measures across member states to prevent disease spread.

This affects veterinarians, animal breeders, and potentially livestock trade. It ensures harmonized reporting and response mechanisms for these specific animal pathogens, safeguarding animal health and trade within the Union.
