18 MEASURES IN PLACE Up until before the SGP recurrence in South Evros Measures lifted in the protection surveillance zones of most outbreaks (measures of Dir. 92/119, in most cases extended well beyond the minimum 21 days described therein). Additional restrictive measures within affected prefectures [ e.g. prohibition of slaughter of sheep/goats originating from the zones (protection + surveillance zones) ] also lifted in most cases. In some cases provisions to allow entry for slaughter of sheep-goats originating from non-affected prefectures. However some residual measures applied to prevent spread of the disease from the other affected prefectures (Evros, Thessaloniki, Xanthi, Rodopi, Pieria) had remained in place (prohibitions in the exit of live animals of susceptible species as well as other feed /fodder or other non edible material that could potentially transmit SGP). Measures applied since April 2014: A partial lift in the ban of exit of live animals from the affected prefectures to allow exit of live sheep goats for slaughter in other prefectures. Restrictions had remained in place for breedingfattening animals (gradually being lifted from areas where no new outbreaks occurred). After the Southern Evros recurrence Strict measures in the S. Evros area to prevent any direct or indirect disease spread (along with the measures of Dir. 92/119). Same measures for the rest of the affected areas (Northern Evros, Kavala, Chalkidiki, Lemnos, Thessaloniki, Rodopi). Measures now lifted in all areas. (situation as at August 2015)
