Article 39

In the case of confirmation of a non-exotic disease listed in Part II of Annex IV in a Member State, zone or compartment not declared free of that disease, the Member State concerned shall take measures to contain the disease. Those measures shall at least consist of: declaring the farm or mollusc farming area to be infected; establishing a containment area appropriate to the disease in question, including a protection zone and surveillance zone around the farm or mollusc farming area declared infected; restricting the movement of aquaculture animals from the containment area to the effect that such animals may only be: introduced into farms or mollusc farming areas in accordance with Article 12(2); or harvested and slaughtered for human consumption in accordance with Article 33(1); the removal and disposal of dead fish and crustaceans, under the supervision of the competent authority in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002, in an appropriate timeframe taking into account the type of production and the risk such dead animals pose for further spread of the disease.
