of 10 January 2003
amending Council Directive 85/511/EEC as regards the lists of laboratories authorised to handle live foot-and-mouth disease virus
(notified under document number C(2002) 5559)
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2003/11/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 85/511/EEC of 18 November 1985 introducing Community measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease(1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 13(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) The cessation of routine vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease virus in the Community in 1991 has increased the susceptibility of Community herds to this disease. It is therefore essential to ensure that laboratories which handle the virus do so under secure conditions, to avoid the dissemination of the virus which might endanger the Community herds.
(2) Directive 85/511/EEC lists the national and commercial laboratories authorised to handle the live foot-and-mouth disease virus. That Directive requires those laboratories to comply with the minimum standards recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations.
(3) Certain Member States have decided to discontinue the handling of the foot-and-mouth disease virus in certain laboratories, while other Member States have provided the necessary guarantees that the required standards are complied with by laboratories which they have approved for that purpose. In addition, the details of certain laboratories listed in Directive 85/511/EEC have changed.
(4) It is therefore necessary to update the lists of laboratories as set out in Annexes A and B to Directive 85/511/EEC.
(5) Directive 85/511/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Annexes A and B to Council Directive 85/511/EEC are replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Spain at this moment complies with the criteria laid down in Articles 7 (1) and (2) of Directive 80/1095/EEC for being recognized as an officially swine fever free Member State within the context of eradication; in fact, no swine fever has been detected and vaccination against swine fever has been stopped for more than 12 months on the territory of Spain and the holdings on the territory of Spain contain no pigs which have been vaccinated against swine fever in the preceeding 12 months;
Whereas, since Spain has obtained this status, no new plan shall be prepared for the completion of the eradication of classical swine fever as provided for in Article 3a of Directive 80/1095/EEC;
Whereas taking into account this new situation it is necessary to modify Decision 81/400/EEC establishing the status of Member States as regards classical swine fever with a view to its eradication (4), as last amended by Decision 86/291/EEC (5);

The list of eligible zones given in Annex II to the Regulation concerned should therefore be updated in the light of the current veterinary situation from 15 March 2002.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,

Whereas the actual operation covers a slightly larger volume; whereas this excess should be allowed, and, as a result, the volume of products to be distilled previously laid down should be amended; whereas this operation is a special transitional measure to facilitate the integration of the Portuguese market into the common organization of the market in wine and to ensure stabilization of the market in response to the table wine production surpluses; whereas an adjustement of the quantities to be eliminated to sustain prices will help to achieve the desired economic effect;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Article 3 (2) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2384/91, 'two million hectolitres' is hereby replaced by '2,279 million hectolitres'.
