COMMISSION DECISION

of 15 January 2002

amending for the sixth time Decision 2001/740/EC concerning certain protection measures with
regard to foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom

(notified under document number C(2002) 78)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2002/37/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June
1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable
in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products
with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), as last
amended by Directive 92/118/EEC (2), and in particular Article
10 thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 89/662/EEC of 11
December 1989 concerning veterinary checks
in intra-
Community trade with a view to the completion of the internal
market (3), as last amended by Directive 92/118/EEC, and in
particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Commission Decision 2001/740/EC (4), as last amended
by Decision 2001/938/EC (5), concerns certain protec-
tion measures with regard to foot-and-mouth disease in
the United Kingdom.

The last outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Great
Britain was recorded on 30 September 2001. Certain
counties in Great Britain, which are listed in Annex III,
have had no outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease during
this epidemic, while others have remained free from the
disease for more than 3 months.

(3)

The improved animal health situation now allows to
enlarge the area from where live bovine and porcine

animals and meat of animals of susceptible species may
be dispatched.

The situation should be reviewed at the meeting of the
Standing Veterinary Committee scheduled for 15 and 16
January 2002 and the measures adapted where neces-
sary.

The measures provided for in this Decision are in
accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary
Committee,

(4)

(5)

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Annex III of Decision 2001/740/EC is replaced by the Annex
to the present Decision.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 15 January 2002.
