    Whereas:

    (1)

    Decision 90/424/EEC lays down the procedures governing the Community's financial contribution towards the programmes for the eradication, control and monitoring of animal diseases and zoonoses. Pursuant to that Decision, a Community financial measure is to be introduced to reimburse the expenditure incurred by the Member States for the financing of national programmes for the eradication, control and monitoring of the animal diseases and zoonoses listed in the Annex to that Decision.

    (2)

    Decision 90/424/EEC provides that each year, by 30 April at the latest, Member States are to submit to the Commission the annual or multi-annual programmes starting in the following year for which they wish to receive a financial contribution from the Community.

    (3)

    Based on Article 3 of Decision 90/424/EEC, as amended by Decision 2006/965/EC, programmes for Enzootic bovine leucosis (EBL) and Aujeszky's disease may be funded until 31 December 2010.

    (4)

    Commission Decision 2004/450/EC of 29 April 2004 laying down standard requirements for the content of applications for Community financing for programmes for the eradication, monitoring and control of animal diseases (2) provides that Member States seeking a financial contribution from the Community for programmes for the eradication, monitoring and control of certain animal diseases are to submit applications containing certain information set out in that Decision.

    (5)

    Commission Decision 2008/341/EC of 25 April 2008 laying down Community criteria for national programmes for the eradication, control and monitoring of certain animal diseases and zoonoses (3) lays down criteria to be fulfilled by the national programmes in order to be approved by the Commission under the Community financial measure provided for in Article 24(1) of Decision 90/424/EEC.

    (6)

    Following the adoption of Decision 2008/341/EC and in order to further improve the process of submission, approval and assessment of progress during the implementation of the programmes, the standard requirements for the applications by Member States for Community financing for national programmes should be updated and made consistent with those criteria. For the sake of clarity, Decision 2004/450/EC should be repealed and replaced by this Decision.

    (3)  A description shall be provided of the structure, competencies, duties and powers of the Competent Authority or Competent Authorities involved.

    (4)  A description shall be provided of the authorities in charge of the supervision and coordination of the programme and the different operators involved.

    (5)  The early detection systems shall in particular ensure the rapid recognition of any clinical sings consistent with the suspicion of a disease, emerging disease, or unexplained mortality in farms or molluscs farming areas, and in the wild, and the rapid communication of the event to the competent authority with the aim to activating diagnostic investigation with minimum delay. The early detection system shall include at least the following:

    (a)

    broad awareness, among the personnel employed in aquaculture businesses or involved in the processing of aquaculture animals, of any signs consistent with the presence of a disease, and training of veterinarians of aquatic animals health specialists in detecting and reporting unusual disease occurrence;

    (b)

    veterinarians or aquatic animal health specialists trained in recognising and reporting suspicious disease occurrence;

    (c)

    access by the competent authority to laboratories with the facilities for diagnosing and differentiating listed and emerging diseases.

    (6)  A description shall be provided in accordance with Article 9 of Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (OJ L 328, 24.11.2006, p. 14).

    (7)  Information shall be given using the table laid down in Part 10 of Annex V to this Decision.

    (8)  A description shall be provided of the benefits for farmers and society in general.

    (10)  The area covered shall be clearly identified and described in a map, which should be attached as an Annex to the application.

    (11)  An entire water catchment area from its sources to its estuary.

    (12)  Part of a water catchment area from the source(s) to a natural or artificial barrier that prevents the upward migration of aquatic animals from the lower stretches of the water catchment area.

    (13)  More than one water catchment area, including their estuaries, due to the epidemiological link between the catchment areas through the estuary.

    (14)  Compartments comprising one or more farms or mollusc farming areas where the health status regarding a specific disease is independent on the health status regarding that disease of surrounding natural waters.

    (15)  An compartment which is independent of the health status of surrounding waters, shall be supplied with water:

    (a)

    through a water treatment plant inactivating the relevant pathogen in order to reduce the risk of the introduction of the disease to an acceptable level; or

    (b)

    directly from a well, a borehole or a spring. Where such water supply is situated outside the premises of the farm, the water shall be supplied directly to the farm, and be channelled through a pipe.

    (16)  Technical information shall be provided to demonstrate that the relevant pathogen is inactivated in order to reduce the risk of the introduction of the disease to an acceptable level.

    (17)  Compartments comprising one or more farms or mollusc farming areas where the health status regarding a specific disease is dependent on the health status regarding that disease of surrounding natural waters.

    (18)  A description shall be provided of the geographical localisation and the distance from other farms/farming areas that make possible to consider the compartment as one epidemiological unit.

    (19)  A description shall be provided of the common biosecurity system.
