COMMISSION 
Proposal for a Council Directive amending Directives 64/432/EEC and 72/461/EEC as 
regards certain measures relating to foot-and-mouth disease, Aujeszky's disease and swine 
vesicular disease 
(Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 13 September 1982) 
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 
Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas Council Directive 64/432/EEC ('), as last 
amended by Directive 82/61/EEC (2), lays down the 
conditions to be met as regards health by live cattle 
and pigs intended for intra-Community trade; 
Whereas Aujeszky's disease represents a danger to the 
Community pig herd; whereas there should therefore 
be guarantees to prevent the spread of the disease; 
Whereas, in view of the development of foot-and-
mouth disease and swine vesicular disease in the 
Community, only Community measures to which 
Member States which have been free of foot-and-
mouth disease for over two years, which do not 
practise vaccination against that disease and which do 
not allow the presence of vaccinated animals on their 
territory may subject the entry to their territory of 
cattle and pigs from other Member States should be 
retained for an additional period; whereas, in 
addition, if foot-and-mouth disease occurs 
accidentally in a defined part of the territory of those 
Member States the right to apply the provisions in 
question must be retained if the disease is eliminated 
by the slaughter and destruction of all animals of the 
susceptible species at the places where the outbreaks 
occur without recourse to vaccination; Whereas Council Directive 72/461/EEC (5), as last 
amended by Directive 81/476/EEC (*), lays down the 
conditions to be met as regards health by animals 
whose meat is intended for intra-Community trade; 
Whereas the favourable trend of foot-and-mouth 
disease in the Community makes it possible gradually 
to lay down Community measures to replace the 
special arrangements which some Member States 
were authorized to apply in trade in fresh meat, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:
