Having regard to Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20 November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control and eradication of bluetongue(1), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Following the evolution of the bluetongue situation in four Member States in 2001, Commission Decision 2001/783/EC of 9 November 2001 on protection and surveillance zones in relation to bluetongue and on rules applicable to movements of animals in and from those zones(2), as last amended by Decision 2002/189/EC(3), was adopted.

(2)
Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 limits the quantities that may be bought in by the intervention agencies in all of the Community to 75 000 tonnes.
