Division 6

The derogation provided for in Article 10(5) and Article 11(4) of Directive 2002/60/EC may be granted if the competent authorities ensure that an intensive sampling and testing scheme is also applied on the groups of pigs to be checked or sampled referred to in points 2, 3 and 4. In the context of this scheme, the minimum number of blood samples to be taken must allow for the detection of 5 % seroprevalence with 95 % confidence in the group of pigs in question.
