Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
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,
