That Decision establishes certain disease control measures concerning classical swine fever in those Member States.\n(2)\nSlovakia has informed the Commission about the recent evolution of that disease in feral pigs and the presence of that disease in the district of Nové Zámky, bordered by the districts Komárno and Levice in Slovakia and the county of Pest in Hungary. In the light of the epidemiological information available, the areas in Slovakia and Hungary where control measures relating to classical swine fever apply should be amended to include parts of those districts.\n(3)\nThe disease situation in Slovakia has significantly improved in the District Veterinary and Food Administrations of Trenčín (comprising Trenčín and Bánovce nad Bebravou districts), Prievidza (comprising Prievidza and Partizánske districts) and Púchov (comprising Ilava district only). The measures provided for in Decision 2006/805/EC concerning those areas should therefore no longer apply.\n(4)\nFor the sake of transparency of Community legislation, the list of the Member States concerned or the regions thereof as set out in the Annex to Decision 2006/805/EC should be replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.\n(5)\nDecision 2006/805/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\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:",
