The zone ZA-1 is part of a controlled area set up by the competent authorities of South Africa in the Western Cape province which includes the zone ZA-1 surrounded by a surveillance zone of at least 50 km and a protection zone of at least a further 100 km and which is separated from the rest of the country by sanitary measures.
2.
No vaccination of equine animals against African horse sickness (AHS) in the zone ZA-1 and the surveillance zone shall be carried out. Vaccination of equine animals against AHS in the protection zone shall be carried out only during the vector-low period (to minimise the risk of reassortments).
3.
Controls on the movements of equine animals to the zone ZA-1, the surveillance zone and the protection zone, from any area outside the controlled area, based on identification of individual equine animals and registration of establishments keeping equine animals, and on vaccination and veterinary certification, confirming that animal health requirements as regards AHS are met for equine animals intended for movements within and into the controlled area, shall be carried out.
4.
Surveillance for AHS and measures shall be in place to ensure:
(a)
immediate investigations of AHS suspected cases in the controlled area leading to movement restrictions of equine animals on infected establishments for a period of at least 40 days in the case of an AHS confirmed case;
(b)
immediate reporting of AHS confirmed cases in the controlled area to the European Commission;
(c)
immediate suspension of entry into the Union of registered horses from the zone ZA-1 in the case of a confirmed case of AHS in the controlled area lasting until its re-authorisation by the European Commission.’
