IL-KUMMISSJONI EWROPEA,
Wara li kkunsidrat it-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea,
Wara li kkunsidrat id-Direttiva tal-Kunsill 90/425/KEE tas-26 ta’ Ġunju 1990 dwar l-iċċekkjar, veterinarju u zootekniku, applikabbli għall-kummerċ intra-Kommunitarju ta’ ċertu annimali ħajjin u prodotti bil-ħsieb tat-tlestija tas-suq intern (1), u b’mod partikolari l-Artikolu 10(4) tagħha,

L-anemija infettiva taż-żwiemel (“EIA”) hija marda virili li taffettwa biss lill-annimali tal-familja Equidae. Il-perjodu ta’ inkubazzjoni hu normalment minn ġimgħa sa tliet ġimgħat, iżda jista’ jkun twil sa tliet xhur. Equidae infettati jibqgħu infettati għal dejjem u jistgħu potenzjalment jittrażmettu l-infezzjoni lil equidae oħrajn. L-infezzjoni bl-EIA għandha tendenza li ma tidhirx jekk ma tirriżultax il-mewt minn wieħed mill-attakki kliniċi akuti waqt il-viremija, u b’hekk il-probabbiltà ta’ trasmissjoni tikber b’mod sostanzjali. It-trasmissjoni lokali sseħħ bi trasferiment tad-demm minn annimal ekwini infettat permezz ta’ tmigħ interrott ta’ dubbien taż-żiemel li jerda’ d-demm, u in utero lill-fetu. Il-mezz ewlieni tat-tixrid fuq distanza kbira tal-marda huwa l-moviment tal-annimali infettati, is-semen, l-ova u l-embrijuni tagħhom, u l-użu ta’ siringi kontaminati jew l-infużjoni ta’ prodotti ta’ demm li fihom il-vajrus.

L-EIA hija marda li għandha tkun notifikata skont l-Anness A tad-Direttiva tal-Kunsill 90/426/KEE tas-26 ta’ Ġunju 1990 dwar il-kondizzjonijiet tas-saħħa tal-annimali li jirregolaw il-moviment u l-importazzjoni ta’ equidae minn pajjiżi terzi (2). Barra minn hekk, id-Direttiva tal-Kunsill 82/894/KEE tal-21 ta’ Diċembru 1982 dwar in-notifika ta’ mard tal-annimali fil-Komunità (3) tistipula li firxiet ta’ EIA għandhom ikunu notifikati lill-Kummissjoni u Stati Membri oħra permezz...\n\n\nPlease translate to English.

on protective measures with regard to equine infectious anaemia in Romania

(2010/346/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,

Equine infectious anaemia (‘EIA’) is a viral disease affecting only animals of the family Equidae. The incubation period is normally one to three weeks, but may be as long as three months. Infected equidae remain infectious for life and can potentially transmit the infection to other equidae. Infection with EIA tends to become inapparent if death does not result from one of the acute clinical attacks during viraemia, and thus the likelihood of transmission is substantially increased. Local transmission occurs by the transfer of blood from an infected equine animal via interrupted feeding of bloodsucking horseflies and in utero to the foetus. The main means of the long distance spread of the disease is the movement of infected animals, their semen, ova and embryos, and the use of contaminated needles or infusion of blood products containing the virus.
(2)
EIA is a compulsorily notifiable disease in accordance with Annex A to Council Directive 90/426/EEC of 26 June 1990 on animal health conditions governing the movement and import from third countries of equidae (2). In addition, Council Directive 82/894/EEC of 21 December 1982 on the notification of animal diseases within the Community (3) provides that outbreaks of EIA are to be notified to the Commission and other Member States through the Animal Disease Notification System (‘ADNS’).

Article 4(5) of Directive 90/426/EEC provides for restrictions concerning the movement of equidae from...
