The Commision considers that, in view of the animal health situation in the area under restrictions established by the veterinary authorities of Chile, the entry into the Union of consigments of poultry, germinal products of poultry, and fresh meat of poultry and game birds from that area should be suspended, in order to protect the animal health status of the Union.(9)Canada and the United Kingdom have provided updated information in relation to situations that gave rise to the suspension of the entry of some products into the Union.(10)In particular, Canada has submitted updated information on the epidemiological situation on its territory in relation to two outbreaks of HPAI in poultry establishments in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, which were confirmed on 5 April 2023 and 18 April 2023, respectively.(11)In addition, the United Kingdom has submitted updated information on the epidemiological situation on its territory in relation to four outbreaks of HPAI in poultry establishments in the counties of Powys in Wales (3) and South Yorkshire in England (1), United Kingdom, which were confirmed between 13 April 2023 and 29 April 2023.(12)Canada and the United Kingdom have also submitted information on the measures they have taken to prevent the further spread of HPAI. In particular, following those outbreaks of that disease, Canada and the United Kingdom have implemented a stamping out policy in order to control and limit the spread of that disease, and they have also completed the requisite cleaning and disinfection following the implementation of the stamping out policy on the infected poultry establishments on their territories.(13)The Commission has evaluated the information submitted by Canada and the United Kingdom. The Commission considers that Canada and the United Kingdom have provided appropriate guarantees that the animal health situation that gave rise to the suspensions, no longer represents a threat to animal or public health within the Union, and that, consequently, the entry into the Union of poultry commodities from the zones of those countries from which entry into the Union had been suspended should be reauthorised.(14)Annexes V and XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 should be therefore amended to take account of the current epidemiological situation as regards HPAI in Canada, Chile and the United Kingdom.(15)In addition, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/215Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/215 of 17 February 2022 amending Annexes V and XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 as regards the entries for Canada and the United States of America in the lists of third countries authorised for the entry into the Union of consignments of poultry, germinal products of poultry and fresh meat of poultry and game birds (OJ L 37, 18.2.2022, p. 28). amended Annex V and Annex XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 by adding zone CA-2.1 to the entries for Canada in Annex V and in Annex XIV. As one error has been detected, the row for the zone CA-2 in Part 2 of Annex V should be corrected accordingly.(16)Furthermore, entries in Part 1, Section A of Annex XV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 have been frequently amended. For clarity reasons, this section in Annex XV should be replaced as a whole.(17)Taking into account the current epidemiological situation in Canada, Chile and the United Kingdom as regards HPAI and the serious risk of its introduction into the Union, the amendments to be made to Annexes V and XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 by this Regulation should take effect as a matter of urgency.(18)The correction for the entry for Canada in the row for the zone CA-2 in Part 2 of Annex V to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/404 should apply from the date of application of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/215.(19)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
