(5) The United Kingdom notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in captive birds. The outbreak is located near Washington, Sunderland, Tyne & Wear, England and was confirmed on 11 December 2021 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR).

(6) Furthermore, the United Kingdom notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry. The outbreak is located near Buckfastleigh, Teignbridge, Devon, England and was confirmed on 22 December 2021 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). (7) Additionally, the United Kingdom notified the Commission of outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry. The outbreaks are located near Watlington, King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, Norfolk, England and near North Somercotes, East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England and were confirmed on 28 December 2021 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). (8) Moreover, the United Kingdom notified the Commission of an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry. The outbreak is located near Romsey, Test Valley, Hampshire, England and was confirmed on 30 December 2021 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). (9) In addition, the United Kingdom notified the Commission of outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in poultry.

(16) The United Kingdom has submitted information to the Commission on the epidemiological situation on its territory and the measures it has taken to prevent the further spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza. That information has been evaluated by the Commission. On the basis of that evaluation, the entry into the Union of consigments of poultry, germinal products of poultry, and fresh meat from poultry and game birds from the areas under restrictions established by the veterinary authorities of the United Kingdom due to the recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza should no longer be authorised.

(17) Annexes V and XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 should be therefore amended accordingly.
