(*1)  The minimum sample size has been calculated to detect a prevalence in slaughtered animals of 0,03 % with a 95 % confidence.’

----

(1)  Sample sizes are set to take account of the size of the ovine populations in the individual Member States and are intended to provide achievable targets. The sample sizes of 10 000, 1 500, 500 and 100 animals will allow the detection of a prevalence of 0,03 %, 0,2 %, 0,6 % and 3 % respectively with a 95 % confidence.

(2)  Sample sizes are set to take account of the size of the caprine populations in the individual Member States and are intended to provide achievable targets. The sample sizes of 5 000, 1 500, 500 and 50 animals will allow the detection of a prevalence of 0,06 %, 0,2 %, 0,6 % and 6 % respectively with a 95 % confidence. Where a Member State experiences difficulty in collecting sufficient numbers of dead caprine animals to reach its allotted sample size, it may choose to supplement its sample by testing caprine animals slaughtered for human consumption over the age of 18 months at the ratio of three caprine animals slaughtered for human consumption to one dead caprine animal.
