THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Decision  90/424/EEC  provides  for  the  possibility  of  a  financial  contribution  by  the 
Community  towards  the  eradication  and  monitoring  of  the  animal  diseases  listed  in 
that  Decision  and  for  the  monitoring  and  control  of  certain  zoonoses.  Each  year, 
Member States are to submit to the Commission the programmes for which they wish 
to receive a financial contribution. 

Criteria  for  the  eradication  and  monitoring  programmes  provided  for  in  Decision 
90/424/EEC  have  been  established  by  Council  Decision  90/638/EEC  of 
27 November 1990 
the  eradication  and 
monitoring of certain animal diseases2.

Commission  Decision  2002/677/EC3  lays  down  standard  reporting  requirements  for 
programmes  of  eradication  and  control  of  animal  diseases  co-financed  by  the 
Community. 

Similarly standard requirements for the content of applications for Community financing 
for  eradication,  monitoring  and  control  programmes  should  improve  the  process  of

programmes. Standard requirements should also create greater clarity and transparency 
for the Member States and the Commission and clarify the criteria laid down in Decision 
90/638/EEC  for  the  Member  States.  The  standard  requirements  should  cover  all  the 
criteria laid down in Decision 90/638/EEC. For the sake of consistency they should be in 
line  with  the  standard  reporting  requirements  for  eradication  and  control  programmes 
laid down in Decision 2002/677/EEC.  

(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, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
