4.RESULTS AND REPORTINGU.K.
4.1. A laying flock shall be considered positive for the purpose of ascertaining the achievement of the Union target where: U.K.
(a)
the presence of the relevant Salmonella serotypes (other than vaccine strains) has been detected in one or more samples taken in the flock, even if the relevant Salmonella serotype is only detected in the dust sample or dust swab; or
(b)
antimicrobials or bacterial growth inhibitors have been detected in the flock.
This rule shall not apply in exceptional cases described in Annex II D point 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, where the initial Salmonella positive result has not been confirmed by that respective sampling protocol.
4.2. A positive laying flock shall only be counted once regardless of: U.K.
(a)
how often the relevant Salmonella serotype has been detected in this flock during the production period;
or
(b)
whether the sampling was carried out at the initiative of the food business operator or by the competent authority.
However, if sampling during the production period is spread over 2 calendar years, the result of each year shall be reported separately.
4.3. Reporting shall include: U.K.
(a)
the total number of adult laying flocks which were tested at least once during the year of reporting;
(b)
the results of the testing including:
(i)
the total number of laying flocks positive with any Salmonella serotype in the Member State;
(ii)
the number of laying flocks positive at least once with Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium;
(iii)
the number of positive laying flocks for each Salmonella serotype or for Salmonella unspecified (isolates that are untypable or not serotyped);
(c)
explanations of the results, in particular concerning exceptional cases or any substantial changes in number of flocks tested and/or found positive.
The results and any additional relevant information shall be reported as part of the report on trends and sources provided for in Article 9(1) of Directive 2003/99/EC.
