amending Decisions 2003/743/EC and 2003/849/EC as regards the reallocation of the Community's financial contribution to certain Member States for their programmes for the eradication and monitoring of animal diseases and for checks aimed at the prevention of zoonoses for 2004

(2004/923/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field(1), and in particular Article 24(5) and (6), and Articles 29 and 32 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Decision 90/424/EEC provides for the possibility of financial participation by the Community towards the programmes of Member States aimed at the eradication and monitoring of animal diseases and for checks aimed at the prevention of zoonoses.

(2) Commission Decision 2003/743/EC of 14 October 2003 on the lists of programmes for the eradication and monitoring of animal diseases and of checks aimed at the prevention of zoonoses qualifying for a financial contribution from the Community in 2004(2) sets out the proposed rate and maximum amount of the Community’s financial contribution for each programme submitted by the Member States.

(3) Commission Decision 2003/849/EC of 28 November 2003 approving programmes for the eradiction and monitoring of certain animal diseases and for the prevention of zoonoses presented by the Member States for the year 2004 and fixing the level of the Community’s financial contribution(3) sets out the maximum amount of the Community’s financial contribution for each programme submitted by the Member States.

(4) The Commission has analysed the reports forwarded by the Member States on the expenditures of those programmes. The results of that analysis show that certain Member States will not utilise their full allocation for 2004 while others will spend in excess of the allocated amount.

(5) The Community’s financial contribution to certain of those programmes therefore needs to be adjusted. It is appropriate to reallocate funding from programmes of Member States, which are not using their full allocation to those that are exceeding it. The reallocation should be based on the most recent information on the expenditure actually incurred by the concerned Member States.

(6) Decisions 2003/743/EC and 2003/849/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,
