eradication of brucellosis, tuberculosis and leukosis in cattle 
COM(86) 557final 
(Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 31 October 1986) 
(86/C 292/02) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas Council Directive 77/391 /EEC ('), as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), 
introduced Community measures for the eradication of 
brucellosis, tuberculosis and leukosis; whereas, in view of 
the results obtained and of the satisfactory progress of 
the programmes presented by the Member States, the 
Council adopted Directive 82/400/EEC of 14 June 1982 
amending Directive 77/391/EEC and introducing a 
supplementary Community measure for the eradication 
of brucellosis, tuberculosis and leukosis in cattle (3); 
Whereas Council Directive 78/52/EEC (4) established 
the Community criteria for national plans for the 
accelerated eradication of brucellosis, tuberculosis and 
enzootic leukosis in cattle; 
Whereas in view of the results obtained within the 
framework of the above action and of the satisfactory 
progress of the previous programmes presented by the 
Member States, it is necessary in particular to make 
similar arrangements for cattle herds in Spain and 
Portugal to be brought up to the same standards in 
respect of brucellosis and tuberculosis;

O OJ No L 173, 19. 6. 1982, p. 18. 
(4) OJNoL 15, 19. 1. 1978, p. 34. Whereas in respect of brucellosis and tuberculosis it is 
necessary for small areas of certain other Member States 
to achieve routine control of all of their herds; 
Whereas it is still necessary for some Member States to 
submit plans for the eradication of enzootic bovine 
leukosis; 
Whereas the final eradication of these diseases 
constitutes an essential basis for the establishment of the 
internal market in bovine animals as well as for in­
creasing the productivity of breeding and consequently 
improving the standard of living of persons engaged in 
this sector; 
Whereas to achieve these objectives it is necessary to 
allow for a new period of three years for each eligible 
Member State; 
Whereas the Community should participate financially in 
this measure; 
Whereas the plans presented by the Member States 
should comply with Community criteria and objectives; 
whereas they must therefore be approved in accordance 
with a Community procedure, and whereas the 
implementation of the plans must be controlled regularly 
on the spot,
