The principal Regulations give effect to Commission Decision 2005/734/EC laying down biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza caused by Influenza virus A subtype H5N1 from birds living in the wild to poultry and other captive birds and providing for an early detection system in areas at particular risk (O.J.

No. L 316, 2.12.05, p.21).\nCommission Decision 2005/734/EC has been subsequently amended by Commission Decision 2006/405/EC to extend the period of application of the measures provided for in Commission Decision 2005/734/EC (as amended) to 31st December 2006.\nThese Regulations by replacing the definition of the Commission Decision in the principal Regulations give effect to this amendment.",
