Article 6

1. In the case of holdings which consist of two or more separate production units and in order that fattening of pigs may be completed, the competent authority may derogate from the first and second indents of Article 5 as regards healthy pig production units on a holding which is infected provided that the official veterinarian has confirmed that the structure and size of these production units and the operations carried out there are such that the production units provide completely separate facilities for housing, keeping and feeding, so that the virus cannot spread from one production unit to another. 2. If use is made of the derogation in paragraph 1, the Member States shall draw up detailed rules for applying it in the light of the animal health guarantees which can be given. Member States which make use of paragraph 1 shall notify the Commission thereof. 3. A decision may be taken, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16, that these measures are to be modified in order to ensure that they coordinate with those adopted by the Member States.
