Remarks

The Community's financial assistance helps accelerate the eradication or control of animal diseases by providing funds to supplement national financial resources and contributes to harmonising measures at Community level. The bulk of these diseases or infections are zoonoses communicable to man (BSE, brucellosis, avian influenza, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, etc.). Moreover, the persistence of the diseases in question hampers smooth operation of the internal market; fighting them helps to improve the level of public health and to boost food safety in the European Union.
