COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 200/2010

of 10 March 2010

implementing Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards a Union target for the reduction of the prevalence of Salmonella serotypes in adult breeding flocks of Gallus gallus

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (1) and, in particular the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) and Article 13 thereof;

Whereas:

| (1) | The purpose of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 is to ensure that measures are taken to detect and control salmonella and other zoonotic agents at all relevant stages of production, processing and distribution, particularly at the level of primary production, in order to reduce their prevalence and the risk they pose to public health. |
| --- | --- |

The purpose of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 is to ensure that measures are taken to detect and control salmonella and other zoonotic agents at all relevant stages of production, processing and distribution, particularly at the level of primary production, in order to reduce their prevalence and the risk they pose to public health.

| (2) | Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 provides for Union targets to be established for the reduction of the prevalence of the zoonoses and zoonotic agents listed in Annex I thereto in the animal populations listed therein. It also lays down certain requirements for those targets. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 provides for Union targets to be established for the reduction of the prevalence of the zoonoses and zoonotic agents listed in Annex I thereto in the animal populations listed therein. It also lays down certain requirements for those targets.

| (3) | Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 refers to all salmonella serotypes with public health significance in breeding flocks of Gallus gallus. Those breeding flocks may spread salmonella infection to their progeny, in particular to flocks of laying hens and broilers. Therefore, a reduction in the prevalence of salmonella in breeding flocks contributes to the control of that zoonotic agent in eggs and meat derived from the progeny, which is an important public health risk. |

Therefore, a reduction in the prevalence of salmonella in breeding flocks contributes to the control of that zoonotic agent in eggs and meat derived from the progeny, which is an important public health risk.

| (4) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 1003/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 as regards a Community target for the reduction of the prevalence of certain salmonella serotypes in breeding flocks of Gallus gallus (2) lays down a Community target for the reduction of the prevalence of certain salmonella serotypes in breeding flocks of Gallus gallus for a transitional period expiring on 31 December 2009. By that date, the maximum percentage of adult breeding flocks of Gallus gallus remaining positive for Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella infantis, Salmonella hadar, Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella virchow (the relevant Salmonella spp.) is to be 1 % or less. Accordingly, it is necessary to lay down a permanent Union target for the reduction of the relevant Salmonella spp. once that period has expired. |

Accordingly, it is necessary to lay down a permanent Union target for the reduction of the relevant Salmonella spp. once that period has expired.

| (5) | Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 provides that experience gained under existing national measures and information forwarded to the Commission or to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) under existing Union requirements, in particular in the framework of information provided for in Directive 2003/99/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the monitoring of zoonoses and zoonotic agents (3), and in particular Article 5 thereof, is to be taken into account when setting the Union target. |

| (6) | In accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, the EFSA has been consulted on the setting of the permanent Union target for breeding flocks of Gallus gallus. Accordingly, on 26 March 2009, the Panel on Biological Hazards adopted on a request from European Commission a scientific Opinion on a Quantitative estimation of the impact of setting a new target for the reduction of salmonella in breeding hens of Gallus gallus (4). It concluded that Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium have the greatest potential for transmission, from breeding hens to their progeny in the broiler meat and egg layer chains. It also concluded that EU control measures for these two serotypes in breeding hens are expected to contribute to the control of salmonella infections in production stock, and to reduce human health risks from poultry. That Scientific Opinion also stated that the marginal benefits of additional EU-wide control for other serotypes in breeders are relatively small: they are less frequently associated with human illness and have less potential for vertical transmission. |

ANNEX

Testing scheme necessary to ascertain the achievement of the Union target for the reduction of the relevant Salmonella serotypes in adult breeding flocks of Gallus gallus

1.   SAMPLING FRAME

The sampling framework to detect the presence of Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella infantis, Salmonella hadar, Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella virchow (the relevant salmonella serotypes) shall cover all adult breeding flocks of domestic fowl (Gallus gallus) comprising at least 250 birds (breeding flocks). It shall be without prejudice to the provisions in Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 and Directive 2003/99/EC as regards the monitoring requirements in other animal populations or other serotypes.

2.   MONITORING IN BREEDING FLOCKS

2.1.   Location, frequency and status of sampling

Breeding flocks shall be sampled at the initiative of the food business operator and as part of official controls.

2.1.1.   Sampling at the initiative of the food business operator

Sampling shall take place every two weeks at the place designated by the competent authority from the following two possible options:

| (a) | at the hatchery; or |
| --- | --- |

(a)

at the hatchery; or

| (b) | at the holding. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

at the holding.

The competent authority may decide to implement one of the options referred to in points (a) or (b) to the whole testing scheme for all broiler breeding flocks and one of those options for all layer breeding flocks. However, sampling of breeding flocks laying hatching eggs intended for the trade within the Union must take place on the holding.

A procedure shall be set up to guarantee that the detection of the presence of the relevant Salmonella serotypes during sampling at the initiative of the food business operator is notified without delay to the competent authority by the laboratory performing the analyses. Timely notification of the detection of the presence of any of the relevant Salmonella serotypes shall remain the responsibility of the food business operator and the laboratory performing the analyses.

By way of derogation from the first paragraph of this point, if the Union target has been achieved for at least two consecutive calendar years in the whole Member State, sampling at the holding may be extended to take place every three weeks, at the discretion of the competent authority. However, the competent authority may decide to keep or revert to a two-week testing interval in the case of detection of the presence of the relevant Salmonella serotypes in a breeding flock on the holding and/or in any other case deemed appropriate by the competent authority.

2.1.2.   Sampling as part of official controls

Sampling as part of official controls shall consist of:

2.1.2.1.   If sampling at the initiative of the food business operator takes place at the hatchery:

| (a) | routine sampling every 16 weeks at the hatchery; |
| --- | --- |

(a)

routine sampling every 16 weeks at the hatchery;

| (b) | routine sampling at the holding on two occasions during the production cycle, the first one being within four weeks following moving to laying phase or laying unit and the second one taking place towards the end of the laying phase, not earlier than eight weeks before the end of the production cycle; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

routine sampling at the holding on two occasions during the production cycle, the first one being within four weeks following moving to laying phase or laying unit and the second one taking place towards the end of the laying phase, not earlier than eight weeks before the end of the production cycle;

| (c) | confirmatory sampling at the holding, following the detection of the presence of the relevant Salmonella serotypes from sampling at the hatchery. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

confirmatory sampling at the holding, following the detection of the presence of the relevant Salmonella serotypes from sampling at the hatchery.

2.1.2.2.   If sampling at the initiative of the food business operator takes place at the holding, routine sampling shall be carried out on three occasions during the production cycle:

| (a) | within four weeks following moving to laying phase or laying unit; |
| --- | --- |

(a)

within four weeks following moving to laying phase or laying unit;

| (b) | towards the end of the laying phase, not earlier than eight weeks before the end of the production cycle; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

towards the end of the laying phase, not earlier than eight weeks before the end of the production cycle;

| (c) | at any time during the production cycle which is sufficiently distant in time from the sampling referred to in points (a) and (b). |
| --- | --- |

(c)

at any time during the production cycle which is sufficiently distant in time from the sampling referred to in points (a) and (b).

2.1.2.3.   By way of derogation from points 2.1.2.1 and 2.1.2.2, and if the Union target has been achieved for at least two consecutive calendar years in the whole Member State, the competent authority may replace the routine samplings by sampling:

| (a) | at the holding on one occasion at any time during the production cycle and once a year at the hatchery; or |
| --- | --- |

(a)

at the holding on one occasion at any time during the production cycle and once a year at the hatchery; or

| (b) | at the holding on two occasions at any times which are sufficiently distant in time from each other during the production cycle. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

at the holding on two occasions at any times which are sufficiently distant in time from each other during the production cycle.

However, the competent authority may decide to keep or revert to the sampling laid down in point 2.1.2.1 or 2.1.2.2 in the case of detection of the presence of the relevant Salmonella serotypes in a breeding flock on the holding and/or in any other case deemed appropriate by the competent authority.

A sampling carried out by the competent authority may replace a sampling at the initiative of the food business operator.

2.2.   Sampling protocol

2.2.1.   Sampling at the hatchery

At least one sample shall be taken per breeding flock on each sampling occasion.

Sampling must be arranged on a hatch day when samples from all breeding flocks are available. If not possible, it has to be guaranteed that samples are collected from every flock at least at the frequency laid down in point 2.1.

All material from all hatchers from which hatched chicks are removed on the sampling day shall contribute to the set of samples in a proportionate way.

If there are more than 50 000 eggs of one breeding flock in the hatchers, a second sample shall be collected from that flock.

The sample shall consist of at least:

| (a) | one composite sample of visibly soiled hatcher basket liners taken at random from five separate hatcher baskets or locations in the hatcher, to obtain a total sampling surface of at least 1 m2; if the hatching eggs from a breeding flock occupy more than one hatcher, then such a composite sample shall be taken from each hatcher up to a maximum of five; or |
| --- | --- |

(a)

one composite sample of visibly soiled hatcher basket liners taken at random from five separate hatcher baskets or locations in the hatcher, to obtain a total sampling surface of at least 1 m2; if the hatching eggs from a breeding flock occupy more than one hatcher, then such a composite sample shall be taken from each hatcher up to a maximum of five; or

| (b) | one sample taken with one or several moistened fabric swab(s) of at least 900 cm2 surface area in total, taken immediately after the removal of the chickens from the whole surface area of the bottom of at least a total of five hatcher baskets, or from fluff from five places, including on the floor, in each hatcher up to a maximum of five with hatched eggs from the flock, ensuring that at least one sample per flock from which eggs are derived, is taken; or |
| --- | --- |

(b)

one sample taken with one or several moistened fabric swab(s) of at least 900 cm2 surface area in total, taken immediately after the removal of the chickens from the whole surface area of the bottom of at least a total of five hatcher baskets, or from fluff from five places, including on the floor, in each hatcher up to a maximum of five with hatched eggs from the flock, ensuring that at least one sample per flock from which eggs are derived, is taken; or

| (c) | 10 g of broken eggshells taken from a total of 25 separate hatcher baskets, namely 250 g in the initial sample, in up to five hatchers with hatched eggs from the flock, crushed, mixed and sub-sampled to form a 25 g subsample for testing. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

10 g of broken eggshells taken from a total of 25 separate hatcher baskets, namely 250 g in the initial sample, in up to five hatchers with hatched eggs from the flock, crushed, mixed and sub-sampled to form a 25 g subsample for testing.

The procedure set out in points (a), (b) and (c) shall be followed for sampling at the initiative of the food business operator and as part of official controls. However, it shall not be mandatory to include a hatcher with eggs from different flocks if at least 80 % from the eggs are in other sampled hatchers.

2.2.2.   Sampling at the holding:

2.2.2.1.   Routine sampling at the initiative of the food business operator

Sampling shall primarily consist of faecal samples and shall aim to detect a 1 % within flock prevalence, with a 95 % confidence limit. To that effect, the samples shall comprise one of the following:

| (a) | Pooled faeces made up of separate samples of fresh faeces each weighing not less than 1 g taken at random from a number of sites in the poultry house in which the breeding flock is kept, or where the breeding flock has free access to more than one poultry house on a particular holding, from each group of houses on the holding in which the breeding flock is kept. Faeces may be pooled for analysis up to a minimum of two pools.
  The number of sites from which separate faeces samples are to be taken in order to make a pooled sample shall be as follows:






  Number of birds kept in the breeding flock | Number of faeces samples to be taken in the breeding flock |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 250-349 | 200 |
| 350-449 | 220 |

As regards the boot swabs samples, dust samples and other faecal material samples referred to in point 3.1, the incubated BPW enrichment broth for future culture may be pooled. To do so, incubate both samples in BPW as referred to in point 3.1.3. Take 1 ml of incubated broth from each sample and mix thoroughly, then take 0,1 ml of the mixture and inoculate the modified semi-solid Rappaport-Vassiliadis (MSRV) plates.

The samples in BPW must not be shaken, swirled or otherwise agitated after incubation as this releases inhibitory particulates and reduces subsequent isolation in MSRV.

3.3.   Serotyping

At least one isolate from each sample showing a positive reaction shall be typed, following the Kaufmann-White scheme.

3.4.   Alternative methods

With regard to samples taken on the initiative of the food business operator, alternative methods may be used instead of the methods for the preparation of samples, detection methods and serotyping provided for in points 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 of this Annex, if validated in accordance with the most recent version of EN/ISO 16140.

3.5.   Storage of strains

It shall be guaranteed that at least one isolated strain of the relevant Salmonella serotypes from sampling as part of official controls per house and per year are stored for possible future phagetyping or antimicrobial susceptibility testing, using the normal methods for culture collection, which must ensure integrity of the strains for a minimum period of two years. If the competent authority decides so, isolates from sampling by food business operators shall also be stored for these purposes.

4.   RESULTS AND REPORTING

A breeding flock shall be considered positive for the purpose of ascertaining the achievement of the Union target:

| — | when the presence of the relevant Salmonella serotypes (other than vaccine strains) has been detected in one or more samples taken in the flock, even if the relevant Salmonella serotypes is only detected in the dust sample, or |

3.   Communication scheme

| 3.1. | The information specified under point 1 shall be transmitted by the vessel to the European Commission in Brussels by Telex (SAT COM C 420599543 FISH), electronic mail (FISHERIES-telecom@ec.europa.eu) or via one of the radio stations listed under point 4 below and in the form specified under point 2. |
| --- | --- |

3.1.

| 3.2. | If it is impossible for reasons of force majeure for the message to be transmitted by the vessel, it may be transmitted on the vessel’s behalf by another vessel. |
| --- | --- |

3.2.

| 3.3. | In the case a Flag State has the technical capability to send all above messages and contents in the so-called NAF-format on behalf of its operating vessels, that Flag State may — after bilateral agreement between the Flag State and the Commission — transmit this information via a secured transmission protocol to the European Commission in Brussels. In that case, some extra information will be added — as a kind of envelope — to the transmission (after the AD information)

This column indicates the measures that will normally be offered to users. Other measures and units may be disseminated, if requested by users.

According to users’ needs, the tables may be based on journey related variables (information from A2 data sets) or on goods related operations (information from A3 data sets) (see Regulation (EC) No 1172/98). Movements would therefore be labelled either as number of journeys or as number of basic transport operations. Transit movements would be labelled as such.

| Note 3: | Type of operation is broken down as follows:
  —   National journey: places of loading and unloading, both in reporting country
  —   International journey: places of loading or unloading, or both, in countries other than the reporting country (= sum of the four following categories)
  (of which)
  —   outward (goods loaded in reporting country): journey starts in reporting country, ends elsewhere
  —   inward (goods unloaded in reporting country): journey starts elsewhere, ends in reporting country
  —   cross-trade: journey between two countries other than the reporting country
  —   cabotage: journey between places within a country other than the reporting country. |
