COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 200/2010
of 10 March 2010
implementing Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards a Union target for the reduction of the prevalence of Salmonella serotypes in adult breeding flocks of Gallus gallus
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the control of salmonella and other specified food-borne zoonotic agents (1) and, in particular the second subparagraph of Article 4(1) and Article 13 thereof;
Whereas:
(1) |
The purpose of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 is to ensure that measures are taken to detect and control salmonella and other zoonotic agents at all relevant stages of production, processing and distribution, particularly at the level of primary production, in order to reduce their prevalence and the risk they pose to public health. |
(2) |
Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 provides for Union targets to be established for the reduction of the prevalence of the zoonoses and zoonotic agents listed in Annex I thereto in the animal populations listed therein. It also lays down certain requirements for those targets. |
(3) |
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 refers to all salmonella serotypes with public health significance in breeding flocks of Gallus gallus. Those breeding flocks may spread salmonella infection to their progeny, in particular to flocks of laying hens and broilers. Therefore, a reduction in the prevalence of salmonella in breeding flocks contributes to the control of that zoonotic agent in eggs and meat derived from the progeny, which is an important public health risk. |
(4) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1003/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 as regards a Community target for the reduction of the prevalence of certain salmonella serotypes in breeding flocks of Gallus gallus (2) lays down a Community target for the reduction of the prevalence of certain salmonella serotypes in breeding flocks of Gallus gallus for a transitional period expiring on 31 December 2009. By that date, the maximum percentage of adult breeding flocks of Gallus gallus remaining positive for Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella infantis, Salmonella hadar, Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella virchow (the relevant Salmonella spp.) is to be 1 % or less. Accordingly, it is necessary to lay down a permanent Union target for the reduction of the relevant Salmonella spp. once that period has expired. |
(5) |
Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 provides that experience gained under existing national measures and information forwarded to the Commission or to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) under existing Union requirements, in particular in the framework of information provided for in Directive 2003/99/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the monitoring of zoonoses and zoonotic agents (3), and in particular Article 5 thereof, is to be taken into account when setting the Union target. |
(6) |
In accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003, the EFSA has been consulted on the setting of the permanent Union target for breeding flocks of Gallus gallus. Accordingly, on 26 March 2009, the Panel on Biological Hazards adopted on a request from European Commission a scientific Opinion on a Quantitative estimation of the impact of setting a new target for the reduction of salmonella in breeding hens of Gallus gallus (4). It concluded that Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium have the greatest potential for transmission, from breeding hens to their progeny in the... |
