David BYRNE

Member of the Commission

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26 June
1964, on animal health problems affecting intra-Community
trade in bovine animals and swine (1), as last amended and
updated by Commission Decision 2001/298/EC (2), and in
particular Article 10(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

The additional guarantees in intra-Community trade of
pigs relating to Aujeszky's disease, and the lists of terri-
tories in the Member States which are free from this
disease and where approved disease control programmes
are in place, are laid down in Commission Decision
93/24/EEC (3), as
last amended by Decision 2001/
746/EC (4) and Commission Decision 93/244/EEC (5), as
last amended by Decision 2001/905/EC (6). As from 1
July 2002 Decisions 93/24/EEC and 93/244/EEC will be
repealed and replaced by Commission Decision 2001/
618/EC (7).

A programme for the eradication of Aujeszky's disease
was implemented in Bavaria, Germany, that had been
approved by Commission Decision 95/210/EC (8).

Germany considers
that Bavaria is now free from
Aujeszky's disease, and has submitted supporting docu-
mentation to the Commission as required in Article 10
of Council Directive 64/432/EEC.

The programme is regarded to have been successful in
eradicating this disease from Bavaria.

Commission Decisions 93/24/EEC, 93/244/EEC and
2001/618/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.
