COMMISSION DECISION

of 23 December 2003

amending Decisions 2002/798/EC and 2002/934/EC as regards the reallocation of the Community's
financial contribution to Member States' TSE monitoring programmes for 2003

(notified under document number C(2003) 5026)

(2004/29/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(5)

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

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), and in particular
Article 24(5) and (6) thereof,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Commission Decision 2002/798/EC of 14 October
2001 on the list of programmes for the monitoring of
TSE qualifying for a financial contribution from the
Community in 2003 (2) lists the programmes submitted
to the Commission by the Member States for the moni-
transmissible spongiform encephalopathies
toring of
(TSE) qualifying for a Community financial contribution
in 2003. That Decision also sets out the proposed rate
and maximum amount of
the contribution for each
programme.

Commission Decision 2002/934/EC of 28 November
2002 approving the TSE monitoring programmes of
certain Member States for 2003 and fixing the level of
the Community's financial contribution (3), approves the
programmes listed in Decision 2002/798/EC and lays
down the maximum amounts of the Community's finan-
cial contribution.

Decision 2002/934/EC provides for 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 2003, while others will carry out monitoring in
excess of the number of tests funded. It is therefore
appropriate to reallocate funding from Member States
which are not using their full allocation to those that are
exceeding it.

(4)

Decisions 2002/798/EC and 2002/934/EC should be
amended accordingly.

(1) OJ L 224, 18.9.1990, p. 19. Decision as last amended by Regulation

(EC) No 806/2003 (OJ L 122, 16.5.2003, p. 1).

(2) OJ L 277, 15.10.2002, p. 25.
(3) OJ L 324, 29.11.2002, p. 73.

The Annex to Decision 2002/798/EC is amended in accordance
with the Annex to this Decision.
