1.2.85                        Official Journal of the European Communities                       N o C 31/11
       Proposal for a Council Decision on a financial contribution from the Community to the
                      campaign against foot-and-mouth disease in south-east Europe
                                             COM(84)      729final
                     (Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 3 January 1985)
                                               (85/C 31/10)
       THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
       Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in
       particular Article 43 thereof,
       Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
       Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
       Whereas there have been outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease caused by viruses foreign
       to the Community in recent years in certain regions of south-east Europe; whereas the
       danger to Community livestock from such exotic foot-and-mouth viruses has not yet
       been removed; whereas, consequently, aid should continue to be granted to the non-
       member countries concerned to enable them to apply measures designed to prevent the
       spread of these viruses, in particular by the creation of buffer zones in these regions,
       HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
                                                  Article 1
       The Community shall contribute to the campaign in the countries of south-east Europe
       against exotic foot-and-mouth viruses. The Commission shall be responsible for paying a
       contribution to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
       programme for 1985 and 1986.
                                                  Article 2
       The Commission shall be responsible for supervising the manner in which the
       contribution provided for in Article 1 is used. It shall report to the Council and to the
       Parliament on the implementation of this Decision.
