COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2020/687
of 17 December 2019
supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and the Council, as regards rules for the prevention and control of certain listed diseases
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (the ‘Animal Health Law’) (1), and in particular Article 47(1), Article 53(2), Article 54(3), Article 55(2), Article 58(2), the first paragraph of Article 63, Article 64(4), the first paragraph of Article 67, Article 68(3), Article 70(3), Article 72(2), Article 73(3), Article 74(4), Article 76(5), Article 77(2) and Article 272(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) 2016/429 lays down rules for the prevention and control of animal diseases which are transmissible to animals or to humans, including rules on disease awareness, preparedness and control. In particular, Regulation (EU) 2016/429 lays down disease-specific rules for the prevention and control of diseases referred to in its Article 5. Regulation (EU) 2016/429 also provides that those disease-specific rules apply to species and groups of animal species that pose a considerable risk for the spread of specific diseases and which are listed as such in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1882 (2). |
(2) |
It is necessary to lay down rules supplementing the rules on disease control measures set out in Title II of Part III of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 for certain listed diseases. Those supplementing rules and the rules set out in Regulation (EU) 2016/429 are closely linked and should be applied in tandem. In the interest of simplicity, transparency and ease of application, the supplementing rules should be laid down in a single act rather than in a number of separate acts with many cross-references and risks of duplication. |
(3) |
Article 53, Article 54(3), Article 55(2), Article 58(2), and Articles 63, 64, 67, 68 and 70 in Chapter 1 of Title II of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 relate to various technical aspects of the measures to be taken if there is suspicion and confirmation of diseases referred to in Article 9(1)(a) of that Regulation. Similarly, Article 72(2), Article 73(3), Article 74(4), Article 76(5) and Article 77 in Chapter 2 of Title II of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 relate to technical aspects of the measures to be taken if there is suspicion and confirmation of diseases referred to in Article 9(1)(b) and (c) of that Regulation. |
(4) |
The rules to be laid down pursuant to Articles in Title II are interrelated as they apply to disease control measures for different categories of listed diseases in Regulation (EU) 2016/429. Therefore, for the effective application of those rules and in the interests of clarity, they should be laid down in a single delegated act providing a comprehensive set of technical measures for the control of listed diseases and contributing to the overall simplification of the legal framework on animal disease control. |
(5) |
Previous disease control provisions were laid down in a number of directives, each of which contained rules for one or few animal diseases. Some of those rules have been replaced by Regulation (EU) 2016/429, while others need to be replaced by this Delegated Regulation in order to simplify and remove possible inconsistencies. This will provide clear, harmonised and detailed rules to control animal diseases throughout the Union. This will also enable the application of the relevant provisions by competent authorities and operators, and will increase the transparency of... |
