(2002/945/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June
1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1), as last amended
by Decision 2001/572/EC (2), and in particular Article 24(5)
and (6) thereof,

Whereas:

Commission Decision 2001/730/EC of 15 October
2001 on the list of programmes for the monitoring of
TSE qualifying for a financial contribution from the
Community in 2002 (3), as amended by Decision 2002/
246/EC (4), establishes the list of programmes submitted
by the Member States for the monitoring of transmis-
sible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) qualifying for a
Community financial contribution in 2002, as well as
the proposed rate and maximum amount of the contri-
bution for each programme.

Commission Decision 2001/854/EC of 3 December
2001 approving the programmes for the monitoring of
TSE presented for 2002 by the Member States and fixing
the level of the Community's financial contribution (5),
as amended by Decision 2002/246/EC, approved those
programmes and fixed the maximum amounts of the
Community's financial contribution.

that

Decision 2001/854/EC provides
the maximum
amounts of financial participation by the Community
for each monitoring programme may be reviewed in the
light of the progress reports to be forwarded by the
Member States to the Commission every month. An
analysis of those reports indicates that certain Member
States will not utilise their full allocation for 2002, while
others will carry out monitoring in excess of the number
of tests funded. It is therefore appropriate to re-allocate
funding from Member States which are not using their
full allocation to those that are exceeding it.

Decisions 2001/730/EC and 2001/854/EC should be
amended accordingly.

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accor-
dance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on
the Food Chain and Animal Health,
