Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/2444

of 17 December 2015

laying down standard requirements for the submission by Member States of national programmes for the eradication, control and surveillance of animal diseases and zoonoses for Union financing and repealing Decision 2008/425/EC

(notified under document C(2015) 9192)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 652/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 laying down provisions for the management of expenditure relating to the food chain, animal health and animal welfare, and relating to plant health and plant reproductive material, amending Council Directives 98/56/EC, 2000/29/EC and 2008/90/EC, Regulations (EC) No 178/2002, (EC) No 882/2004 and (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directive 2009/128/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Decisions 66/399/EEC, 76/894/EEC and 2009/470/EC1, and in particular Article 36(5) thereof.

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EU) No 652/2014 lays down, inter alia, provisions for the management of expenditure relating to the food chain and animal health and requirements for the submission and the content of the national programmes for the eradication, control and surveillance of animal diseases and zoonoses.

(2)

Article 12(1) of Regulation (EU) No 652/2014 provides that each year, by 31 May at the latest, Member States are to submit to the Commission the national programmes starting in the following year for which they wish to apply for a grant.

(3)

Commission Decision 2008/425/EC2 provides that Member States seeking a financial contribution from the Union for national programmes for the eradication, monitoring and control of certain animal diseases are to submit applications containing certain minimum information set out in Annexes I to V to that Decision.

(4)

Following the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 652/2014, standard requirements for the content and the submission by Member States of national programmes as defined in Article 9 of that Regulation should be revised to fully comply with the requirements of Article 12 of that Regulation.

(5)

In addition, the standard requirements for the content and submission by Member States of national programmes as defined in Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 652/2014, should comply with the criteria for national eradication, control and monitoring programmes established by Commission Decision 2008/341/EC3.

(6)

To be in line with evolving Union legislation, the electronic standard templates provided online on the Commission's website should be used for certain diseases to facilitate necessary modifications or including further details. The Commission will inform and discuss with Member States all necessary modifications of the electronic standard templates in the framework of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed. The revised electronic standard templates will be sent to all Member States at the latest by early March of the concerned year.

(7)

For other diseases not included in electronic standard templates and for aquaculture diseases the use of non-electronic standard templates is considered the appropriate tool for submissions of national programmes, given the low number of submissions in the last years, which does not justify the development of specific electronic templates.

(8)

For the sake of clarity, Decision 2008/425/EC should therefore be repealed and replaced by this Decision.

(9)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

In addition to the content set out in Article 12(2) of Regulation (EU) No 652/2014, national programmes shall contain the information provided in the Annexes to this Decision.

Article 2

National programmes laid down in Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 652/2014 shall be submitted on-line by using the corresponding standard electronic templates indicated in Annexes I to IV to this Decision or by mail by using the corresponding standard templates set out in Annex V to this Decision for diseases not included in the electronic templates and in Annex VI to this Decision for aquaculture diseases

Article 3

Decision 2008/425/EC is repealed.

Article 4

This Decision shall apply to submissions of national eradication, control and surveillance programmes for 2017 and following years

Article 5

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 17 December 2015.

National legislation in force applicable to the application for eradication programme.

A description shall be provided of the structure, competencies, duties and powers of the competent authority or competent authorities involved.

A description shall be provided of the authorities in charge of the supervision and coordination of the programme and the different operators involved.

The early detection systems shall in particular ensure the rapid recognition of any clinical signs consistent with the suspicion of a disease, emerging disease, or unexplained mortality in farms or molluscs farming areas, and in the wild, and the rapid communication of the event to the competent authority with the aim to activating diagnostic investigation with minimum delay. The early detection system shall include at least the following:

(a)
broad awareness, among the personnel employed in aquaculture businesses or involved in the processing of aquaculture animals, of any signs consistent with the presence of a disease, and training of veterinarians of aquatic animals health specialists in detecting and reporting unusual disease occurrence;
(b)
veterinarians or aquatic animal health specialists trained in recognising and reporting suspicious disease occurrence;
(c)
access by the competent authority to laboratories with the facilities for diagnosing and differentiating listed and emerging diseases.

A description shall be provided in accordance with Article 9 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 (OJ L 328, 24.11.2006, p. 14).

Information shall be given using the table laid down in Part 9 of Annex VI to this Decision.

A description shall be provided of the benefits for farmers and society in general.

A concise description of the programme shall be given with the main objectives, the main measures, the target population, the areas of implementation and the definition of a positive case.

The area covered shall be clearly identified and described in a map, which should be attached as an Annex to the application.

An entire water catchment area from its sources to its estuary.

Part of a water catchment area from the source(s) to a natural or artificial barrier that prevents the upward migration of aquatic animals from the lower stretches of the water catchment area.

More than one water catchment area, including their estuaries, due to the epidemiological link between the catchment areas through the estuary.

Compartments comprising one or more farms or mollusc farming areas where the health status regarding a specific disease is independent on the health status regarding that disease of surrounding natural waters.

A compartment which is independent of the health status of surrounding waters, shall be supplied with water:

(a)
through a water treatment plant inactivating the relevant pathogen in order to reduce the risk of the introduction of the disease to an acceptable level; or
(b)
directly from a well, a borehole or a spring. Where such water supply is situated outside the premises of the farm, the water shall be supplied directly to the farm, and be channelled through a pipe.

Technical information shall be provided to demonstrate that the relevant pathogen is inactivated in order to reduce the risk of the introduction of the disease to an acceptable level.

Compartments comprising one or more farms or mollusc farming areas where the health status regarding a specific disease is dependent on the health status regarding that disease of surrounding natural waters.

A description shall be provided of the geographical localisation and the distance from other farms/farming areas that make possible to consider the compartment as one epidemiological unit.

A description shall be provided of the common biosecurity system.

Each farm or mollusc farming area in a compartment which is dependent on the health status of surrounding waters shall be subject to additional measures imposed by the competent authority, when considered necessary to prevent the introduction of diseases. Such measures may include the establishment of a buffer zone around the compartment in which a monitoring programme is carried out, and the establishment of additional protection against the intrusion of possible pathogen carriers or vectors.

A comprehensive description needs to be provided unless reference can be made to Union legislation. The national legislation in which the measures are laid down shall be mentioned.

Describe diagnostic methods and sampling schemes. When OIE or Union standards are applied, refer to them. If not, describe them. Name the laboratories involved in the programme (National Reference Laboratory or designated laboratories).

100

A description is provided of the measures as regards positive animals (immediate or delayed harvesting for human consumption, immediate or delayed removal and disposal, measures to avoid the spread of the pathogen when harvesting, further processing or removal and disposal takes place, a procedure for the disinfection of the infected farms or mollusc farming areas, a procedure for restocking with healthy animals in farms or farming areas which have been depopulated and creation of surveillance zone around the infected farm or farming area, etc.).
