Article 6 Restricted zones
United Kingdom
Each authority who in relation to any constituent part of the United Kingdom is the appropriate Minister must—
draw up and keep updated a list of the restricted zones in that constituent part of Great Britain;
make that information available to the public, together with details of the bluetongue virus serotypes circulating in each zone;
share that information with each other authority who in relation to any constituent part of Great Britain is the appropriate Minister and notify them of any change in the situation of those zones within 24 hours.
Before taking any decision to remove an epidemiologically relevant geographical area from a restricted zone, the appropriate Minister must demonstrate the absence of bluetongue virus circulation in that area during a period of two years, including at least two vector activity seasons, following the implementation of the bluetongue monitoring and surveillance programme in accordance with paragraph 3 of Annex 1.
