Amendment 86 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 24
Recital 24
(24) Furthermore, the preventive and control measures for each transmissible animal disease should be "tailor-made" in order to address its unique epidemiological profile and its consequences. The preventive and control rules applying to each of them should therefore be disease specific, and strict attention should be paid to different regional conditions.
Amendment 95 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 31
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'). Thus implementing powers to lay down such aPowers to amend this list should be conferred on the Commission.
Amendment 98 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 35
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 to establish a harmonised list of species to which the measures for specific listed diseases should apply at Union level ('listed species') and thus implementing powers to lay down such apowers to amend this list should be conferred on the Commission.

(76) However, those control strategies may substantially vary between different listed diseases. Thus this Regulation should provide for rules on the use of veterinary medicinal products for the prevention and control of listedcertain diseases and for harmonised criteria for consideration when determining whether or not to use and how to use vaccines, hyper-immune sera and antimicrobials. In order to ensure a flexible approach and to address the specificities of different listed diseases and the availability of the effective treatments, 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 of the restrictions, prohibitions or obligations to use certain veterinary medicinal products in the framework of the control of certain listed diseases. In the case of urgency and in order to address emerging risks with possible devastating implications for animal or public health, economy, society or environment, it should be possible for these measures to be adopted by the urgency procedure.
Amendment 138 #

Recital 104
Recital 104
(104) The legal framework, currently laid down in Union legislation for the movement of terrestrial animals lays down harmonised rules primarily for the movement of terrestrial animals and products between Member States, while leaving it up to the Member States to determine the necessary movement requirements within their territory. A comparison of the current situation with an option where rules for movements within Member States would also be harmonised at Union level, was extensively elaborated in the Impact Assessment on the EU Animal Health Law. It has been concluded that the current approach should be maintained, as complete harmonisation of all movements would be very complex and the benefits in terms of the facilitation of movements between Member States do not outweigh the negative impact this could have on the ability to control diseases. Common requirements should however apply with regard to health certificates.
Amendment 139 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 115
Recital 115
(115) Kept terrestrial animals that are moved between Member States should comply with the requirements for such movements. In the case of species presenting a health risk and of greater economic importance, they should be accompanied by an animal health certificate issued by the competent authority.
Amendment 141 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 125
Recital 125
(125) When Member States take national measures concerning movements of animals and germinal products or decide to take national measures to limit the impact of transmissible animal diseases other than listed diseases within their territory, those national measures should notmay only interfere with the rules on the internal market laid down in Union legislation when this is scientifically justified on the grounds of controlling infectious disease and is proportionate in relation to the risk. Therefore, it is appropriate to set the framework for such national measures and ensure that they remain within the limits permitted under Union law.
