Article 2c Maintenance of non-exotic disease-free statusF1

Where a constituent GB territory is declared free from one or more non-exotic diseases listed in Annex 1A to Regulation 1251/2008 in accordance with Article 2a, the appropriate authority may discontinue targeted surveillance and maintain its disease-free status provided that the conditions conducive to clinical expression of the disease in question exist.

However, for disease-free zones or compartments in a constituent GB territory not declared disease-free, and in all cases where conditions are not conducive to clinical expression of the disease in question, targeted surveillance shall be continued in accordance with the methods provided for in Decision 2015/1554, but at a level commensurate with the degree of risk.
