"Mr President, as a Member of the European Parliament and also as a veterinary surgeon, I would like to express my support for Mrs Figueiredo’s report, in particular its call for infectious animal diseases such as bovine leucosis and Aujeszky’s disease to be kept on the list of diseases eligible for cofinancing from Community funds. I would like to remind the House that eradicating these diseases in certain Member States is particularly important, amongst other reasons because of trade within the Union. One of the conditions for placing pigs on the market is that they should originate from a region or country free from Aujeszky’s disease. A similar situation exists for cattle, which must originate from herds certified free from enzootic bovine leucosis.
Many new Member States have limited budgets and consequently do not have the financial resources necessary to completely eradicate these diseases. The European Commission’s proposed adjustment of the list of diseases involving the removal of bovine leucosis and Aujeszky’s disease, may lead to significant cuts in the preventive programmes in place, or even to them being completely halted.
It is essential that any future updating of the list of diseases should only take place after the consent of the European Parliament and the Council has been obtained."@en1
