Regulation (EU) 2016/429 in Article 5 and Annex II establishes a harmonised list of transmissible animal diseases ('listed diseases') which pose a risk to animal or public health in the Union. Those listed diseases require different management approaches, set out in Article 9 of the basic regulation, which depend on the seriousness of their impact on public or animal health, economy, society or the environment. The basic regulation sets out predefined criteria for the categorisation of listed disease in order to lay down which listed diseases are to be subject to which management measures. This Commission Implementing Regulation assigns the above referred categories of measures to listed diseases, based on pre-set criteria.

In addition, the rules for the prevention and control of a specific transmissible animal disease should apply to species of animals, which can transmit the disease in question, in accordance with the criteria set out in Article 8 of the basic regulation. This implementing regulation assigns to each listed disease a list of such animal species to which the measures for specific listed diseases will apply in the Union ('listed species') .
