I have voted in favour of this report, following the agreement between the European Parliament and the Council at first reading. It brings up to date and renders more flexible the present rules for vaccination against bluetongue as they are set out in Directive 2000/75/EC. Bluetongue is a disease affecting ruminants (such as cattle, sheep and goats) and transmitted by insect vectors which spread the virus from one animal to another. It has come to affect certain geographical areas in Europe, including Portugal. However, the use of vaccines has been limited under the present rules set out in Directive 2000/75/EC, which envisaged the use of vaccines only in areas where the disease had already occurred and which were therefore subject to animal movement restrictions. The flexible new rules contained in the proposal for a directive are based on the current availability of inactivated vaccines, which can also be successfully used outside the areas subject to animal movement restrictions."@en1
