(9)In addition, Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 provides that that Regulation is to apply to transmissible diseases, including zoonosis, without prejudice to rules laid down in Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, Directive 2003/99/EC of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote and Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote. As the diseases covered by the rules laid down in those acts, namely listeriosis, salmonellosis (zoonotic salmonella), trichinellosis, verotoxigenic E. coli and transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) are already covered by sector-specify rules, they should therefore be removed from the list set out in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/429.
