THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 2003/85/EC of 29 September 2003 on Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease repealing Directive 85/511/EEC and Decisions 89/531/EEC and 91/665/EEC and amending Directive 92/46/EEC (1), and in particular Article 67(2) thereof,

(2) |
The preventive measures set out in Directive 2003/85/EC include the provision that Member States are to ensure that the handling of the live foot-and-mouth disease virus for the manufacturing of either inactivated antigens for the production of vaccines or vaccines and related research is carried out only in approved laboratories listed in Part B of Annex XI to that Directive. |
(3) |
The competent authorities of Germany have officially informed the Commission of some changes relating to manufacturers of foot-and-mouth disease vaccines in this Member State. Germany has renewed the necessary security guarantees for the laboratory situated on its territory. |

For security reasons it is important to keep the list of laboratories authorised to handle live foot-and-mouth disease virus for vaccine production in Directive 2003/85/EC updated. |
(5) |
Accordingly, it is necessary to replace the list of laboratories authorised to handle live foot-and-mouth disease virus for vaccine production in Part B of Annex XI to Directive 2003/85/EC by the list set out in the Annex to this Decision. |
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
