THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), and in particular Article 3(3) and 3a(1) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Decision 90/424/EEC lays down the procedures governing the Community’s financial contribution towards specific veterinary measures, including emergency measures. Pursuant to Article 3a of that Decision, Member States may obtain a Community financial contribution towards the costs of certain measures to eradicate avian influenza. |
|
(2) |
Article 3a(3) of Decision 90/424/EEC lays down rules on the percentage of the costs incurred by Member States that may be covered by the Community’s financial contribution. |
|
(3) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 349/2005 of 28 February 2005 laying down rules on the Community financing of emergency measures and of the campaign to combat certain animal diseases under Council Decision 90/424/EEC (2), following the amendment of Decision 90/424/EEC by Council Decision 2006/53/EC (3), no longer covers avian influenza. It is therefore necessary to expressly provide in the present Decision that the granting of a Community financial contribution to Portugal is subject to compliance with certain rules laid down in that Regulation. |
|
(4) |
Outbreaks of avian influenza occurred in Portugal in 2007. The emergence of that disease represents a serious risk to the Community’s livestock population. Portugal took measures, as referred to in Article 3a(2) of Decision 90/424/EEC, to combat those outbreaks. |
|
(5) |
Portugal has fully complied with its technical and administrative obligations as set out in Articles 3(3) and 3a(2) of Decision 90/424/EEC and Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 349/2005. |
|
(6) |
Portugal submitted to the Commission information on the costs incurred on 7 November 2007, and has continued to provide all necessary information on costs of compensation and operational expenditure. |
|
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Financial contribution from the Community
1. A financial contribution from the Community may be granted to Portugal towards the costs incurred by that Member State in taking the measures referred to in Article 3a(2) of Decision 90/424/EEC, to combat avian influenza in 2007.
