Article 17U.K.Introduction of live aquaculture animals of vector species into disease-free areas

1.Where scientific data or practical experience substantiates that species other than those referred to in Part II of Annex IV may be responsible for the transmission of a specific disease by acting as vector species, Member States shall ensure that where introduced for farming or restocking purposes into a Member State, zone or compartment declared free of that specific disease in accordance with Articles 49 or 50, such vector species shall:

(a)originate from another Member State, zone or compartment declared free of that specific disease;

or
