Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (‘Animal Health Law’) (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(143) However, Directive 2006/88/EC excludes from its scope wild aquatic animals caught or harvested for direct entry into the food chain. By contrast, this Regulation retains them within its scope, but excludes them from the definition of aquaculture animals. It should therefore provide for possible measures in relation to such aquatic animals where, taking into account their proportionality, such measures are justified by the risks involved.
