Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2332 of 14 November 2025 amending Annexes V and XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 as regards the entries for Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States in the lists of third countries, territories, or zones thereof authorised for the entry into the Union of consignments of poultry and germinal products of poultry, and of fresh meat of poultry and game birds (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (Animal Health Law) OJ L 84, 31.3.2016, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/429/oj. , and in particular Articles 230(1) and 232(1), point (b) and 232(3), point (b) thereof. Whereas: (1) Regulation (EU) 2016/429 provides that consignments of animals, germinal products and products of animal origin from third countries or territories must be allowed to enter the Union only if the third countries or territories concerned are listed in accordance with Article 230(1) of that Regulation. (2) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692 of 30 January 2020 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards rules for entry into the Union, and the movement and handling after entry of consignments of certain animals, germinal products and products of animal origin (OJ L 174, 3.6.2020, p. 379, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2020/692/oj). lays down the animal health requirements that consignments of certain species and categories of animals, germinal products and products of animal origin, from third countries, territories, or zones thereof, or compartments thereof in the case of aquaculture animals, must comply with in order to enter the Union. (3) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 of 24 March 2021 laying down the lists of third countries, territories or zones thereof from which the entry into the Union of animals, germinal products and products of animal origin is permitted in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 114, 31.3.2021, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2021/404/oj). lays down the lists of third countries, territories, or zones thereof, from which the entry into the Union of the species and categories of animals, germinal products and products of animal origin, falling within the scope of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/692, is permitted. Those lists and certain general rules concerning those lists are set out in Annexes I to XXII to that Implementing Regulation. (4) More particularly, Annexes V and XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 set out the lists of third countries, territories, or zones thereof, authorised for the entry into the Union, respectively, of consignments of poultry and germinal products of poultry, and of fresh meat of poultry and game birds.

(5) Canada has notified the Commission of 11 new outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in poultry in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec, which were confirmed between 22 October 2025 and 4 November 2025 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). (6) The United Kingdom has notified the Commission of 19 new outbreaks of HPAI in poultry in the counties of Devon, East Sussex, Lancashire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, North Yorkshire, and Suffolk, England, and in the county of Pembrokeshire, Wales, which were confirmed between 29 October 2025 and 7 November 2025 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). (7) The United States has notified the Commission of 13 new outbreaks of HPAI in poultry in the states of California, Indiana, Michigan, North Dakota, and South Dakota, which were confirmed between 21 October 2025 and 6 November 2025 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR). (8) Following those recent outbreaks of HPAI, the veterinary authorities of Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States established restricted zones of at least 10 km around the affected establishments and implemented a stamping-out policy to control the presence of HPAI and limit the spread of that disease. (9) Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States have submitted information to the Commission on the epidemiological situation on their respective territories and the measures taken to prevent the further spread of HPAI following those recent HPAI outbreaks. (10) That information has been evaluated by the Commission. In view of the animal health situation in the areas under restrictions established by the veterinary authorities of Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, the entry into the Union of consignments of poultry and germinal products of poultry, and of fresh meat of poultry and game birds from the areas concerned by the outbreaks in those third countries should be suspended in order to protect the animal health status of the Union, taking into account the dates when the outbreaks were confirmed. Therefore, the entries for those third countries in the tables set out in Section B of Part 1 and in Part 2 of Annex V, and the table set out in Section B of Part 1 of Annex XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 should be amended accordingly. (11) In addition, Canada provided updated information to the Commission in relation to the epidemiological situation on its territory as regards earlier outbreaks of HPAI that gave rise to the suspension of the entry into the Union of consignments of poultry and germinal products of poultry, and of fresh meat of poultry and game birds, as set out in the table in Section B of Part 1 of Annex V, and in the table in Section B of Part 1 of Annex XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404. (12) On 15 October 2025 and 20 October 2025, Canada submitted updated information on the animal health situation and the measures it has taken in relation to two outbreaks of HPAI in poultry in the province of Alberta, which were confirmed on 15 September 2025 and 6 October 2025 by laboratory analysis (RT-PCR).

(13) Canada informed the Commission that, following those earlier outbreaks of HPAI, it has implemented a stamping out policy in order to control and limit the spread of that disease, and it has also completed the requisite cleaning and disinfection following the implementation of the stamping out policy in the infected poultry establishments. (14) The Commission has evaluated the information submitted by Canada and considers that it has provided appropriate guarantees that the animal health situation that had given rise to the suspension of the entry of consignments of poultry and germinal products of poultry, and of fresh meat of poultry and game birds into the Union from the affected zones, as set out in the table in Section B of Part 1 of Annex V, and in the table in Section B of Part 1 of Annex XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404, no longer represents a threat to animal or public health in the Union, and that, consequently, the entry into the Union of those consignments from the affected zones of Canada, from which entry into the Union had been suspended, should be re-authorised. Therefore, the entries for Canada in those tables in those Annexes should be amended accordingly. (15) Taking into account the new HPAI outbreaks in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and in order to avoid any unnecessary disruption in trade with Canada, the amendments to be made to Annexes V and XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 by this Regulation should take effect as a matter of urgency. (16) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
