COMMISSION DECISION

of 26 March 1985

amending Decision 77/97/EEC on the financing by the Community of certain emergency measures in the field of animal health

(85/212/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee,

Whereas Decision 77/97/EEC (3), as last amended by Decision 81/177/EEC (4), has laid down as an initial step certain measures to be applied in the case of outbreaks of certain exotic diseases including exotic foot-and-mouth disease;

Whereas the extension of these measures to foot-and-mouth disease caused by non-exotic viruses and their rapid and strict application will avert the spread of the disease and increase the guarantees in trade, thereby facilitating the dismantling of trade barriers;

Whereas it is therefore desirable that the Community should participate in financing the implementation of these new emergency measures;

Whereas Community financial aid should be limited to the first 20 outbreaks that occur in the first 30 days in any one single epizootic of non-exotic foot-and-mouth disease in any one Member State and/or to vaccinations that are performed in the first 40 days of this epizootic, because the thoroughness and rapidity of action taken in the initial phase of the disease will determine the extent of the subsequent development thereof;

Whereas the Community must be in a position to ascertain that the provisions adopted by Member States for the implementation of those measures will contribute towards achievement of the objectives thereof; whereas, to this end, provision should be made for a procedure establishing close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission within the Standing Veterinary Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Decision 77/97/EEC is hereby...
