08.07.08; Certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N1 in Croatia and Switzerland
Commission Decisions 2006/265/EC and 2006/533/EC provided that Member States of the EU are to suspend imports from certain parts of Croatia and Switzerland of certain live animals and products of animal origin. These Decisions expired on 30 June 2007.
Croatia and Switzerland have notified the European Commission that the competent authorities of these third countries are applying protection measures that are equivalent to those applied by the competent authorities of the EU Member States.

(a) poultry as defined in Article 2(a) of Decision 2006/696/EC;
(b) hatching eggs as defined in Article 2(b) of Decision 2006/696/EC;
