It was communicated in June 2001 to the authorities of the Netherlands in response to their question on the eligibility for the premium of animals slaughtered in the course of a FMD epidemic and was confirmed in February 2004 to the Netherlands Minister of Agriculture, specifying that the premium could be granted for animals slaughtered in a slaughterhouse as long as the sum of the premium was neither included in the evaluation of animals for the purposes of veterinary compensation nor paid on that count, in order to prevent double payment.

22.3.2005 EN Official Journal of the European Union SUMMARY I. In May 2000 the Commission announced a major reform of the management of its external aid programme, the main objectives being to make radical improvements in the speed and quality of EC external aid, while ensuring robust financial procedures. 
5
A key component of the reform is the extensive devolution of aid management tasks and responsibilities to the Commission delegations. 
5
The Court has visited 10 delegations as well as the central services in Brussels, to examine whether the Commission has managed the devolution process successfully and whether devolved management in the delegations is starting to achieve the intended results (given that the delegations had only worked under devolved management for a fairly short period) (see paragraphs 6 to 14). 
Kontrollikoda klastas kmmet delegatsiooni ja keskset talitust Brsselis, et kontrollida, kas komisjon on leandmisprotsessi edukalt juhtinud ning kas volituste leandmine delegatsioonidele on hakanud andma kavatsetud tulemusi (vttes arvesse, et delegatsioonid olid uute volituste alusel ttanud suhteliselt lhikest aega) (vt punktid 6Đ14).
The devolution of aid management responsibilities to 78 delegations constituted a major reorganisation of the CommissionŐs services in the area of external aid and its implementation is a considerable achievement, with almost all delegations operating under devolved management by summer 2004 (see paragraphs 15 to 17). 
Abi korraldamisega seotud kohustuste leandmine 78 delegatsioonile thendas komisjoni vlisabita-lituste laiaulatuslikku mberkorraldamist ning selle elluviimine on mrkimisvrne saavutus Ń peaaegu kigis delegatsioonides oli volituste leandmisega lpule jutud 2004. aasta suveks (vt punktid 15Đ17).
IV. Regarding the CommissionŐs management of the devolution process, it can be considered reasonably successful, at least as far as the delegations themselves are concerned. Its planning process, however, did not incorporate a number of elements which could have facilitated its control over that process, and some problem areas need further attention (see paragraph 18). 
IV. leandmisprotsessi juhtimist komisjoni poolt vib pidada kllaltki edukaks, vhemalt mis puudutab delegatsioone. Planeerimisel jeti aga kaasamata terve rida elemente, mis oleks lihtsustanud protsessi kontrollimist, ja mned probleemsed valdkonnad nuavad edasist thelepanu (vt punkt 18).
V. In general, delegations have been reasonably well prepared to operate under devolved management, although there are problems with filling posts and there is a continuing need for training. 
V. ldjuhul on delegatsioonid tks uute volituste alusel hsti ette valmistatud, ehkki probleeme esineb ametikohtade titmisel, samuti psib pidev vajadus koolituse jrele.
The preparation of the headquartersŐ (HQ) services has been less well planned, lacking both analysis and consultation. 
Peakorterite talituste ettevalmistamine oli halvemini planeeritud Ń puudu ji nii analsist kui konsulteerimisest.
