COUNCIL DECISION
of 25 May 2009
on expenditure in the veterinary field
(Codified version)
(2009/470/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) |
Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Decision should be codified. |
(2) |
Live animals and products of animal origin appear on the list in Annex I to the Treaty. Livestock farming and the placing on the market of products of animal origin constitute a source of income for a large part of the agricultural population. |
(3) |
The rational development of that sector and an improvement in its productivity may be achieved by the initiation of veterinary measures aimed at protecting and raising the level of public and animal health in the Community. |
(4) |
The pursuit of that objective necessitates the provision of Community aid for actions undertaken or intended to be undertaken. |
(5) |
The Community should make a financial contribution towards the eradication, as quickly as possible, of any outbreak of a serious infectious disease. |
(6) |
It is also necessary to prevent and reduce, by appropriate control measures, the appearance of zoonoses which pose a threat to human health. |
(7) |
In the light of the adoption of Council 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 (4), Community financial contributions should also be granted for eradication measures carried out by the Member States to combat other diseases in aquaculture animals, subject to Community control provisions. |
(8) |
Community financial contributions for disease control purposes in aquaculture animals should be subject to scrutiny regarding compliance with the control provisions laid down in Directive 2006/88/EC, in accordance with the same procedures as those that apply for such scrutiny and control for certain terrestrial animal diseases. |
(9) |
The functioning of the internal market requires a control strategy that postulates a harmonised control system for products coming from third countries. It seems appropriate to facilitate the implementation of that strategy by providing for a Community financial contribution towards the initiation and the development of this strategy. |
(10) |
The harmonisation of essential requirements concerning the protection of public health, the protection of animal health and the protection of animals presupposes the designation of Community liaison and reference laboratories and the undertaking of technical and scientific actions. It seems appropriate to provide for a Community financial contribution. In the field of animal protection in particular, it is desirable to create a database to gather, store and disseminate any information necessary. |
(11) |
Information gathering activities are necessary to allow better development and implementation of legislation in the fields of animal health and food safety. In addition, there is a pressing need to disseminate as widely as possible information regarding animal health and food safety legislation throughout the Community. It is therefore desirable to include animal health and food safety in products of animal origin in the financing of the information policy in the field of animal... |
