Recital 5 a (new)

(5a) With a view to making these provisions as clear as possible, and thus ensuring that they are fully and correctly implemented, a criterion and principle for organising the delegated and implemented acts adopted pursuant to this Regulation need to be laid down.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 30

(30) New hazards associated with certain diseases or species may develop in particular due to changes in the environment, the climate, animal husbandry, farming traditions but also through social changes~~. S~~ and changes in economic and trade relations inside and outside the Union. Unless they are totally eradicated, diseases currently confined to limited geographical areas could spread and cause economic damage over wider areas. Furthermore, scientific progress may also lead to new knowledge and increased awareness concerning existing diseases. ~~Furthermor~~At the same time, diseases and species that are important today may be marginalised in the future. Therefore the scope of this Regulation should be broad and the rules laid down should be focused on diseases with high public relevance. The OIE has, with the support of the European Commission, developed a system of disease prioritisation and categorisation, by producing a study on the "Listing and categorisation of priority animal diseases, including those transmissible to humans"23 and a tool for such an exercise. This Regulation should introduce such an approach in Union legislation. __________________ 23 http://www.oie.int/en/support-to-oie- members/global-studies/categorisation-of- animal-diseases/.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 31

(31) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation in relation to transmissible animal diseases at Union level, it is necessary to establish a harmonised list of transmissible animal diseases ('listed diseases'). Thuis ~~implementing powers to lay down such a list should be conferred on the Commission~~Regulation should thus lay down such a list and empower the Commission to adopt delegated acts amending that list.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 35

(35) The prevention and control rules of this Regulation for a specific transmissible animal disease should apply to species of animals which can transmit the disease in question, by being susceptible to it or by acting as its vector. In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, it is necessary for it to establish a harmonised list of species to which the measures for specific diseases included in the list of listed diseases should apply at Union level ('listed species') and t~~hus implementing powers to lay down such a list should be~~o confer~~red~~ on the Commission delegated powers to amend it.

Francesca BARRACCIU

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 36

(36) Based on the importance and the level of impact of a listed disease, its distribution, prevalence and incidence in the Union, the risk of its spreading and the availability of disease prevention and control measures in respect of that listed disease, a different category of specific disease prevention and control rules provided for in this Regulation should apply coherently and consistently to each listed disease.

Francesca BARRACCIU

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 41

(41) Knowledge of animal health, including of disease symptoms, consequences of diseases and possible means of prevention including biosecurity, treatment and control is a prerequisite for efficient animal health management and essential in ensuring the early detection of animal diseases. Operators and other animal professionals should therefore acquire such knowledge as appropriate. That knowledge may be acquired by different means, for example formal education, but also through the Farm Advisory System existing in the agricultural sector or by informal training to which national and European farmer organisations and other organisations may be valuable contributors. Those alternative means of acquiring such knowledge should also be recognised by this Regulation. The same may also be said of pet keepers, while bearing in mind their different position and level of responsibility.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 46

(46) The competent authority cannot always perform all the activities required to be carried out by it under this Regulation due to the limited resources. For that reason it is necessary to provide a legal basis for the delegation of the performance of those activities to veterinarians and professional and trade organisations with the necessary qualifications, as laid down by law. In order to ensure that the necessary conditions are laid down for the general application of disease prevention and control measures across the Union, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect to the delegation of the performance of those activities to veterinarians and ~~their appropriate training~~professional and trade organisations and to training for veterinarians, as well as to the qualifications that professional and trade organisations must have in order to be delegated this responsibility.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 49

(49) Early detection and a clear chain of disease notification and reporting are crucial for effective disease control. In order to achieve an efficient and quick response any suspicion or confirmation of an outbreak of certain listed diseases should be immediately notified to the competent authority. At the same time, a professional approach to notification and reporting must be ensured, in order avoid unnecessary health scares. Those notification obligations should therefore be applicable to a~~ny natural and legal person in order to ensure that no disease outbreaks remain unnoticed~~ll operators, animal professionals and pet keepers.

Committee: AGRI

Francesca BARRACCIU

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 54

(54) A key purpose of disease notification and reporting is to generate reliable, transparent and accessible epidemiological data. A computerised information system for the effective collection and management of surveillance data should be established at Union level for listed diseases and~~, when relevant,~~ for emerging diseases or antimicrobial resistant pathogens. That system should promote optimal data availability, facilitation of data exchange, and reduction of administrative burden for the competent authorities of the Member States by merging disease notification and reporting within the Union and at international level into one process (that is the WAHIS/WAHID database of the OIE). Consistency with the exchange of information in accordance with Directive 2003/99/EC24 should also be ensured. __________________ 24 OJ L 325, 12.12.2003, p. 31. OJ L 325, 12.12.2003, p. 31.

(57) Operators observe their animals on a regular basis and are best positioned to detect abnormal mortalities or other serious disease symptoms. Operators are therefore the cornerstone of any surveillance and essential for the surveillance undertaken by the competent authority. The same may be said of hunters, hunting associations and owners of hunting land, with respect to wild animals.

(79) Criteria for priority access to the Union antigen, vaccine and diagnostic reagent banks' resources should be established in order to ensure their effective distribution in emergencies. Similarly, for those Member States which have not set up national antigen, vaccine and diagnostic reagent banks or which find that stocks are limited in the Union banks, criteria for access to the resources of other Member States should be established.

Recital 81

(81) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the management of the Union antigen, vaccine and diagnostic reagent banks, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission to lay down detailed rules concerning which biological products are to be included in those banks and for which diseases, and detailed rules on the supply, quantities, storage, delivery, procedural and technical requirements for vaccines, antigens and diagnostic reagents and the frequency and content of submissions of information to the Commission. The Commission should also be given implementing powers for the purpose of laying down terms for and regulating exchanges of antigens, vaccines and diagnosis reagents between Member States.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 87

(87) The occurrence of a listed disease in wild animals may pose a risk to public health and the health of kept animals. This risk is higher in areas where livestock are allowed to roam free. Special rules should therefore be laid down for disease control and eradication measures in wild animals where needed.
