Division 1

In order that the restrictions referred to in Article 11 of Directive 2001/89/EC may be lifted in a surveillance zone, a clinical examination must be carried out in all holdings in the zone in accordance with the procedures laid down in A.2.

In addition, blood samples for serological tests must be taken from pigs:

• in all the holdings where no pigs of between two and eight months of age are kept;

• whenever the competent authority deems that classical swine fever might have spread unnoticed amongst breeding sows;

• in any other holding where sampling is deemed necessary by the competent authority;

• in all semen collection centres.
