(5)Since Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1708 was amended by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/1762note, France has notified the Commission of four additional confirmed outbreaks of infection with lumpy skin disease virus in establishments keeping bovine animals. Two of those confirmed outbreaks occurred in the communes of Chambéry and Annecy, in the departments of Savoie and Haute-Savoie, and the other two confirmed outbreaks occurred, for the first time, in the communes of Nantua and Belley, in the department of Ain. All four outbreaks were reported between 15 August 2025 and 9 September 2025, with the outbreaks in Nantua and Belley located more than 10 kilometres west of the nearest previously confirmed outbreaks. In response to those new outbreaks, France has established protection and surveillance zones in the departments of Ain, Isère, Savoie and Haute-Savoie, in the region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and in the department of Jura, in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, where the disease control measures laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687 are applied.
