The competent authorities of Belgium submitted a
request on 18 October 2000, accompanied by appro-
priate documentation, which was further updated, for
the recognition of the system of surveillance networks

Following a Commission veterinary inspection mission
in Belgium and in the light of the situation concerning
animal health in this country, the system of surveillance
networks for bovine holdings implemented in Belgium
has been audited by Commission experts as fully opera-
tional, and it is proposed that it should therefore be
formally approved.

For the Commission

David BYRNE

Member of the Commission

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 2000/75/EC of 20
November 2000 laying down specific provisions for the control
and eradication of bluetongue (1), and in particular Article 8(3)
thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

Following the evolution of the bluetongue situation in
four Member States in 2001, Commission Decision
2001/783/EC of 9 November 2001 on protection and
surveillance zones in relation to bluetongue and on rules
applicable to movements of animals in and from those
zones (2), as last amended by Decision 2002/189/EC (3),
was adopted.

Italy has requested in conformity with Article 8(3) of
Directive 2000/75/EC the deletion of Napoli province
from those protection and surveillance zones.

It is clear from the results of the epidemiological survey
carried out by the Italian authorities that no circulation
of bluetongue virus has taken place in Napoli province
for more than 100 days and as a consequence this
province may be considered as free of the disease.

Napoli province should therefore be deleted from the list
of administrative units included in the protection and
surveillance zones established by Decision 2001/783/EC.

Decision 2001/783/EC should therefore be amended
accordingly.
