COMMISSION DECISION
of 29 September 2004
establishing logistical support for the Traces system
(notified under document number C(2004) 3584)
(2004/675/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Articles 37 and 37a thereof,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (2), and in particular Article 20(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 92/438/EEC of 13 July 1992 on computerisation of veterinary import procedures (Shift project), amending Directives 90/675/EEC, 91/496/EEC, 91/628/EEC and Decision 90/424/EEC, and repealing Decision 88/192/EEC (3), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Point 23 of European Parliament resolution A5-0396/2000 on the Court of Auditors' Special Report 1/2000 on classical swine fever (4) asks ‘that the Animal Movement System (ANIMO) be managed and developed under the full control of the Commission’. |
(2) |
Commission Decision 2004/292/EC of 30 March 2004 on the introduction of the Traces system and amending Decision 92/486/EEC (5) requires all Member States to participate in the system before 31 December 2004. |
(3) |
11 Member States have been participating fully in the Traces system since 1 April or 1 May 2004, and logistical support is indispensable. The need for this technical support will be even greater once all the Member States and non-institutional users are participating. |
(4) |
Support trials should be run for an initial period of 15 months, after which the trials should be evaluated and the support adapted as necessary. |
(5) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
In the context of Traces, the integrated computerised veterinary system provided for in Decision 2003/24/EC, the Commission hereby establishes logistical support intended to help users of the system for an initial period of 15 months.
Article 2
The Commission shall have EUR 300 000 with which to set up the logistical support provided for in Article 1.

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
