Bluetongue is a disease subject to compulsory notification which affects ruminants and is spread by midges which pass the disease to animals when they bite them. Vaccination is an important tool in combating the disease.
Directive 2000/75/EC limits the vaccine to areas in which animal movements have been restricted. In recent years, new vaccines have been placed on the market. In contrast to their predecessors, these do not pose the risk of unwanted circulation of the virus to vaccinated animals.
In common with my political group and the other groupings, I voted for the recommendation. In fact, the text has inspired unanimity on almost all the points for some time now in the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and was recently approved without amendments for adoption at second reading. I support the aims of the Commission’s proposal, designed to introduce further opportunities for vaccination against bluetongue and to reduce the burden that this disease represents for European agriculture."@en1
