Outbreaks of Newcastle disease occurred in Denmark in
2005. The emergence of that disease presented a serious
risk to the Community’s livestock population.

In order to prevent the spread of the disease and to help
eradicate it as quickly as possible, the Community should
contribute financially towards the eligible expenditure
incurred by the Member State under the emergency
measures taken to combat the disease, as provided for
in Decision 90/424/EEC.

Commission Decision 2006/579/EC of 24 August 2006
on a financial contribution from the Community towards
the eradication of Newcastle disease in Denmark in
2005 (2) granted a financial contribution at the rate of
50 % of the expenditure eligible for Community funding
for the implementation of the measures taken to combat
this outbreak.
