Bluetongue is a disease affecting ruminants (cattle, sheep and goats), whose infectious agent, a virus, is spread from animal to animal by an insect vector, with serious consequences for the agricultural sector. This directive seeks to bring up to date the rules for vaccination against bluetongue, making them more flexible and constituting a means to prevent as well as control this disease.
Greater flexibility will allow wider use of the vaccine and remove restrictions limited to the areas where the disease has occurred. Moreover, the updating I have mentioned also covers new technical resources, in particular the inactivated vaccines that have become available and are safer than their predecessors, the live modified or live attenuated vaccines, which gave rise to undesired virus circulation among unvaccinated animals. These are pertinent reasons for welcoming the report. The Council agrees with the objectives proposed by the Commission and has adopted most of the amendments proposed by Parliament. This directive comes into force the day after its official publication, a matter of importance in view of the urgent need to combat and prevent this disease and reduce its harm to the agricultural sector."@en1
