| (4) | The territory of the Kaliningrad Region, an exclave of Russia surrounded by EU territory, is adjacent to Member States that are making their final efforts towards complete eradication of the disease.

The territory of the Kaliningrad Region, an exclave of Russia surrounded by EU territory, is adjacent to Member States that are making their final efforts towards complete eradication of the disease. A special measure was necessary to prevent continuing re-infection of neighbouring Member States from Kaliningrad.

| (5) | Given the relative size of the territory of Kaliningrad, it is more appropriate and cost-efficient to assist the efforts towards the elimination of rabies in Kaliningrad than to put in place a vaccination buffer zone in the territory of the neighbouring Member States which would have to be maintained indefinitely. |

(8)

The 36-month plan covered activities from 1 June 2008 and therefore expires on 31 May 2011.

The actions foreseen in that programme are essential for the protection of Union interest and it is therefore appropriate that certain measures receive Union financing. A Union financial contribution should therefore be granted in 2011 for the implementation of that programme. |
