In accordance with Article 12 of Commission Regulation (EC) N 498/2007 of 26 March 2007 laying down detailed rules for the
implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 on the European Fisheries Fund (OJ L 120, 10.5.2007, p. 1).

(3) A description shall be provided of the structure, competencies, duties and powers of the Competent Authority or Competent Authorities

involved.

(4) A description shall be provided of the authorities in charge of the supervision and coordination of the programme and the different

operators involved.

(5) The early detection systems shall in particular ensure the rapid recognition of any clinical sings consistent with the suspicion of a disease,
emerging disease, or unexplained mortality in farms or molluscs farming areas, and in the wild, and the rapid communication of the
event to the competent authority with the aim to activating diagnostic investigation with minimum delay. The early detection system
shall include at least the following:
(a)

broad awareness, among the personnel employed in aquaculture businesses or involved in the processing of aquaculture animals,
of any signs consistent with the presence of a disease, and training of veterinarians of aquatic animals health specialists in detecting
and reporting unusual disease occurrence;
veterinarians or aquatic animal health specialists trained in recognising and reporting suspicious disease occurrence;
access by the competent authority to laboratories with the facilities for diagnosing and differentiating listed and emerging diseases.
(6) A description shall be provided in accordance with Article 9 of Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health
requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (OJ
L 328, 24.11.2006, p. 14).
Information shall be given using the table laid down in Part 10 of Annex V to this Decision.

(7)
(8) A description shall be provided of the benefits for farmers and society in general.
(9) A concise description of the programme shall be given with the main objectives, the main measures, the target population, the areas of

(b)
(c)

implementation and the definition of a positive case.

(10) The area covered shall be clearly identified and described in a map, which should be attached as an Annex to the application.
(11) An entire water catchment area from its sources to its estuary.
(12) Part of a water catchment area from the source(s) to a natural or artificial barrier that prevents the upward migration of aquatic animals

from the lower stretches of the water catchment area.

(13) More than one water catchment area, including their estuaries, due to the epidemiological link between the catchment areas through the

estuary.

(14) Compartments comprising one or more farms or mollusc farming areas where the health status regarding a specific disease is

independent on the health status regarding that disease of surrounding natural waters.

(15) An compartment which is independent of the health status of surrounding waters, shall be supplied with water:

(a)

(b)

through a water treatment plant inactivating the relevant pathogen in order to reduce the risk of the introduction of the disease to
an acceptable level; or
directly from a well, a borehole or a spring. Where such water supply is situated outside the premises of the farm, the water shall
be supplied directly to the farm, and be channelled through a pipe.

(16) Technical information shall be provided to demonstrate that the relevant pathogen is inactivated in order to reduce the risk of the

introduction of the disease to an acceptable level.

(17) Compartments comprising one or more farms or mollusc farming areas where the health status regarding a specific disease is dependent

on the health status regarding that disease of surrounding natural waters.

(18) A description shall be provided of the geographical localisation and the distance from other farms/farming areas that make possible to

consider the compartment as one epidemiological unit.

(19) A description shall be provided of the common biosecurity system.
(20) Each farm or mollusc farming area in a compartment which is dependent on the health status of surrounding waters shall be subject to
additional measures imposed by the competent authority, when considered necessary to prevent the introduction of diseases. Such
measures may include the establishment of a buffer zone around the compartment in which a monitoring programme is carried out, and
the establishment of additional protection against the intrusion of possible pathogen carriers or vectors.

(21) A comprehensive description needs to be provided unless reference can be made to Community legislation. The national legislation in

which the measures are laid down shall be mentioned.

(22) Describe diagnostic methods and sampling schemes. When OIE or EU standards are applied, refer to them. If not, describe them. Name

the laboratories involved in the programme (National Reference Laboratory or designated laboratories).

(23) A description is provided of the measures as regards positive animals (immediate or delayed harvesting for human consumption,
immediate or delayed removal and disposal, measures to avoid the spread of the pathogen when harvesting, further processing or
removal and disposal takes place, a procedure for the disinfection of the infected farms or mollusc farming areas, a procedure for
restocking with healthy animals in farms or farming areas which have been depopulated and creation of surveillance zone around the
infected farm or farming area, etc.).
