(12)  Part of a water catchment area from the source(s) to a natural or artificial barrier that prevents the upward migration of aquatic animals from the lower stretches of the water catchment area.

(13)  More than one water catchment area, including their estuaries, due to the epidemiological link between the catchment areas through the estuary.

(14)  Compartments comprising one or more farms or mollusc farming areas where the health status regarding a specific disease is independent on the health status regarding that disease of surrounding natural waters.

(15)  An compartment which is independent of the health status of surrounding waters, shall be supplied with water:

| (a) | through a water treatment plant inactivating the relevant pathogen in order to reduce the risk of the introduction of the disease to an acceptable level; or |
| --- | --- |

(a)

through a water treatment plant inactivating the relevant pathogen in order to reduce the risk of the introduction of the disease to an acceptable level; or

| (b) | directly from a well, a borehole or a spring. Where such water supply is situated outside the premises of the farm, the water shall be supplied directly to the farm, and be channelled through a pipe. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

directly from a well, a borehole or a spring. Where such water supply is situated outside the premises of the farm, the water shall be supplied directly to the farm, and be channelled through a pipe.

(16)  Technical information shall be provided to demonstrate that the relevant pathogen is inactivated in order to reduce the risk of the introduction of the disease to an acceptable level.

(17)  Compartments comprising one or more farms or mollusc farming areas where the health status regarding a specific disease is dependent on the health status regarding that disease of surrounding natural waters.

(18)  A description shall be provided of the geographical localisation and the distance from other farms/farming areas that make possible to consider the compartment as one epidemiological unit.

(19)  A description shall be provided of the common biosecurity system.

(20)  Each farm or mollusc farming area in a compartment which is dependent on the health status of surrounding waters shall be subject to additional measures imposed by the competent authority, when considered necessary to prevent the introduction of diseases. Such measures may include the establishment of a buffer zone around the compartment in which a monitoring programme is carried out, and the establishment of additional protection against the intrusion of possible pathogen carriers or vectors.

(21)  A comprehensive description needs to be provided unless reference can be made to Community legislation. The national legislation in which the measures are laid down shall be mentioned.

(22)  Describe diagnostic methods and sampling schemes. When OIE or EU standards are applied, refer to them. If not, describe them. Name the laboratories involved in the programme (National Reference Laboratory or designated laboratories).

(23)  A description is provided of the measures as regards positive animals (immediate or delayed harvesting for human consumption, immediate or delayed removal and disposal, measures to avoid the spread of the pathogen when harvesting, further processing or removal and disposal takes place, a procedure for the disinfection of the infected farms or mollusc farming areas, a procedure for restocking with healthy animals in farms or farming areas which have been depopulated and creation of surveillance zone around the infected farm or farming area, etc.).

(1)  Member State, zone or compartment as defined in Point 7 of Annex V.

(2)  Member State, zone or compartment as defined in Point 7 of Annex V.

(3)  Total number of farms or mollusc farming areas existing in the Member State, Zone or Compartment as defined in Point 7 of Annex V.

(4)  Check means to perform a farm/mollusc farming area level test under the programme for the respective disease with the purpose of upgrading the health status of the farm/mollusc farming area. In this column a farm/mollusc farming area should not be counted twice even if has been checked more than once.

(5)  Farms or mollusc farming areas with at least one positive animal during the period independent of the number of times the farms or mollusc farming areas has been checked.

(6)  Farms or mollusc farming areas which health status in the previous period was, in accordance with Part A of Annex III to Directive 2006/88/EC, category I, category II, category III or category IV and have at least one positive animal in this period.

In the case of programmes submitted before 1 August 2008, Farms or mollusc farming areas which were not positive to the disease in question in the previous period and have at least one positive animal in this period.

(7)  Animals × 1 000 or total weight of animals removed and disposed of.

(8)  Member State, zone or compartment as defined in Point 7 of Annex V.

(9)  Member State, zone or compartment as defined in Point 7 of Annex V.

(10)  Total number of farms or mollusc farming areas existing in the Member State, zone or compartment as defined in Point 7 of Annex V.

(11)  Check means to perform a farm/mollusc farming area level test under the programme for the respective disease with the purpose of upgrading, the health status of the farm/mollusc farming area. In this column a farm/mollusc farming area should not be counted twice even if has been checked more than once.

(12)  Farms or mollusc farming areas with at least one positive animal during the period independent of the number of times the farms or mollusc farming areas has been checked.

(13)  Farms or mollusc farming areas which health status in the previous period was, in accordance with Part A of Annex III to Directive 2006/88/EC, category I, category II, category III or category IV and have at least one positive animal in this period.

(24)  Referred either to Veterinary funds either to European Fishery Fund (Council Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006).
