(1) Commission Decision 2004/145/EC of 12 February 2004 on financial assistance from the Community for the operation of certain Community reference laboratories in the field of veterinary public health (biological risks) for the year 2004 (2) grants Community financial aid to them to carry out certain functions and duties.
(2) As part of the annual work programme for 2003, the Community reference laboratory for TSEs at Weybridge, United Kingdom (CRL) has developed on the basis of the analysis of the results of the Community BSE monitoring programme an integrated approach to initial and continuing evaluation of country BSE status which includes an epidemiological model for the assessment of BSE monitoring results of individual countries.

Therefore the Community financial assistance to the annual work plan of the CRL should be increased to cover the additional costs for this workshop and expert assistance.
