Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

However, the competent authority may decide to lift the measures referred to in 5(b) if:

(b)no clinical signs of swine vesicular disease have been detected in the holding;
(c)the holding is not located in a surveillance or restriction zone established following a confirmed outbreak of disease or subject to other restrictions applied in relation to a confirmed outbreak of disease,
and provided that:
no pigs are moved from the holding for export, and
the pigs are only moved from the holding to a slaughterhouse for immediate slaugher or to another holding from which no pigs are moved for export,
until the results of the further checks and serological tests carried out in the place where the seropositive pigs had been detected and in the holding of origin indicate that swine vesicular disease can be definitely ruled out.
