COMMISSION DECISION  of 30 July 1992  amending for the third time Council Directive 82/894/EEC on the notification of animal diseases within the Community and temporarily amending the frequency of notification for bovine spongiform encephalopathy   (92/450/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 82/894/EEC of 21 December 1982 on the notification of animal diseases within the Community (1), as last amended by Commission Decision 90/134/EEC (2), and in particular Article 5 (2) thereof,
Whereas outbreaks of bovine spongiform encephalopathy continue within Community territory; whereas that disease should accordingly be kept on the list of diseases notifiable under Directive 82/894/EEC;
Whereas, in the light of experience gained, provision should be made for a derogation to extend the requirement to notify outbreaks of that disease until 31 December 1997; whereas, however, weekly notification of outbreaks containing information  required concerning secondary outbreaks appears sufficient;
Whereas provisions adopted previously concerning notification of the disease should be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
