COMMISSION DECISION
of 10 December 2007
amending Decisions 2006/687/EC, 2006/875/EC and 2006/876/EC as regards the reallocation of the Community’s financial contribution to certain Member States for their programmes for the eradication and monitoring of animal diseases and for checks aimed at the prevention of zoonoses for 2007
(notified under document number C(2007) 5985)
(2007/851/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 Article 24(6) and Articles 29 and 32 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Council Decision 90/424/EEC provides for the possibility of a financial contribution by the Community in the eradication and monitoring of animal diseases and for checks aimed at the prevention of zoonoses. |
(2) |
Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies ( 2 ), provides for annual programmes for the eradication and monitoring of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in bovine, ovine and caprine animals. |
(3) |
The Member States have submitted programmes for the eradication and monitoring of certain animal diseases, for the prevention of zoonoses and for the eradication and monitoring of TSEs in their territories. |
(4) |
After examination of those programmes they were found to comply with relevant Community veterinary legislation and in particular with the Community criteria relating to the eradication of those diseases, in accordance with Council Decision 90/638/EEC of 27 November 1990 laying down Community criteria for the eradication and monitoring of certain animal diseases ( 3 ). |
(5) |
Those programmes appear on the list of programmes established by Commission Decision 2006/687/EC of 12 October 2006 on programmes which qualify for a Community financial contribution in 2007 for the eradication and monitoring of certain animal diseases, for the prevention of zoonoses, for the monitoring of TSEs as well as programmes for the eradication of BSE and scrapie ( 4 ). |
(6) |
In the light of the importance of those programmes for the achievement of Community objectives in the field of animal and public health, as well as the obligatory application in all Member States in the case of the TSE programmes, it is appropriate to fix the appropriate rate of financial contribution of the Community to reimburse the costs to be incurred by the Member States concerned for the measures referred to in this Decision up to a maximum amount for each programme. |
(7) |
For the sake of better management, more efficient use of Community funds and improved transparency, it is also necessary to fix for each programme, where appropriate, maximum amounts to be reimbursed to the Member States for certain costs of such items as tests, different vaccines used in the Member States and compensation to owners for their losses due to the slaughter or culling of animals. |
(8) |
Under Council Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005 of 21 June 2005 on the financing of the common agricultural policy ( 5 ), programmes for the eradication and control of animal diseases are to be financed under the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund. For financial control purposes, Articles 9, 36 and 37 of that Regulation are to apply. |
(9) |
The presence of rabies in territory surrounded by the Europan Union would constitute a continuing source of reinfectionn for surrounding areas. It is, therefore, preferable to eradicate rabies rather than put in place a protective vaccination zone surrounding any such territory, which would have to be maintained indefinitely. |
(10) |
The financial contribution from the Community should be granted subject to the condition that the actions planned are efficiently carried out and that the competent authorities supply all the necessary information within the time limits laid down in this Decision. |
(11) |
There is a need to clarify the rate to be used for the conversion of the payment applications submitted in national currency as defined in Article 1(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro ( 6 ). |
(12) |
The approval of some of the programmes should not prejudge a decision of the Commission on rules for eradication of those diseases based on scientific advice. |
(13) |
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:
