That area was previously considered to be free of Bonamia ostreae but can therefore no longer be regarded as free of that disease.\n(3)\nIn addition, Ireland has submitted a request for an amendment to the list of zones in Ireland approved with regard to Bonamia ostreae in Decision 2002/300/EC, in order to make the geographical description of one of the areas affected by that disease more precise. Accordingly, the description ‘Logmore, Belmullet’ should be replaced by ‘Loughmore, Blacksod Bay’.\n(4)\nDecision 2002/300/EC should be amended accordingly.\n(5)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
