Annex V to that Decision lists the codes for the diseases, while Annexes X/01, X/03, X/09, X/11, X/12 and X/16 list the codes for the veterinary regions in Germany, Italy, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, and Sweden respectively.\n(3)\nThe list in Annex I to Directive 82/894/EEC, as amended by Commission Decision 2008/650/EC, was recently updated whereby certain diseases affecting fish listed in Part II of Annex IV to Council Directive 2006/88/EC were included in that list and Teschen disease (porcine enterovirus encephalomyelitis), which is no longer a compulsorily notifiable disease pursuant to Council Directive 92/119/EEC, was deleted from that list.\n(4)\nIn order to make it possible to distinguish between notifications of outbreaks of African swine fever in wild boar and of outbreaks of that disease in domestic pigs, different codes should be given for the notification of those two types of outbreaks.\n(5)\nIt is therefore necessary to amend the list of disease codes set out in Annex V to Decision 2005/176/EC.\n(6)\nGermany, Italy, Denmark, Spain, Portugal and Sweden have adjusted the names and boundaries of their veterinary regions. The adjustment of those regions affects the Animal Disease Notification System. The new regions should therefore replace those currently listed in that system. It is therefore appropriate to amend Annexes X/01, X/03, X/09, X/11, X/12 and X/16 to Decision 2005/176/EC accordingly.\n(7)\nDecision 2005/176/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(8)\nIn order to protect confidentiality of the transmitted information, the Annexes to this Decision should not be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.\n(9)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on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:",
