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 20 thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Council Decision 90/424/EEC provides for a financial contribution from the Community for the undertaking of technical and scientific measures necessary for the development of Community veterinary legislation and for veterinary education or training. |
|
(2) |
Commission Decision 2004/111/EC (2) provides for the implementation in 2004 of surveys for avian influenza in poultry and wild birds in the Member States, subject to the survey plans being approved by the Commission; these surveys should investigate the presence of infections in poultry, which could lead to a review of current legislation and contribute to the knowledge of the possible threats for animals and humans from the wildlife. |
|
(3) |
Programmes submitted by Member States have been examined by the Commission against the guidelines established by Decision 2004/615/EC amending Decision 2004/111/EC on the implementation of surveys for avian influenza in poultry and wild birds in the Member States to be carried out during 2004, and found to be consistent with those guidelines; they should therefore be approved individually. |
|
(4) |
Expenditures in relation to the programmes to be approved that have been incurred since 15 March 2004 shall also be eligible for co-financing. |
|
(5) |
Cyprus has submitted a surveillance programme but due to the small scale of the investigations planned, has not requested a financial contribution from the Community; however the programme should be officially approved. |
|
(6) |
Furthermore it is appropriate to lay down rules for reporting the results of the surveys and for the eligibility of the costs contained in the financial claim for a financial participation of the Community to the costs incurred by Member States for the implementation of the programme. |
|
(7) |
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
1. Member States shall carry out surveys for avian influenza in poultry and wild birds in accordance with the programmes listed in Annex I and hereby approved for the period as specified.
2. The financial contribution of the Community to the costs of sampling and for analysing samples shall be granted to each Member State up to the maximum amount laid down in Annex I.
This contribution shall be granted provided that the Member State:
|
(a) |
brings into force the laws, regulations or administrative provisions necessary for implementing its programme, |
|
(b) |
forwards a final report to the Commission and to the Community Reference Laboratory for avian influenza by 15 March 2005 at the latest, on the technical execution of the programme and the results attained, according to the reporting models specified in Annex II, III, IV and V, and accompanied by justifying evidence as to the costs incurred during the period for which the programme is approved, |
|
(c) |
implements the programme efficiently; in particular the competent authority shall ensure that appropriate samples are taken in poultry holdings or at abattoirs. |
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, Sweden, Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom.
Done at Brussels, 27 July 2004.
