National programmes submitted after 31 May shall not be eligible for financing in respect of the following year. The national programmes shall contain at least the following: a description of the epidemiological situation of the animal disease or zoonosis before the date of the beginning of the programme; a description and demarcation of the geographical and administrative areas in which the programme is to be applied; the duration of the programme; the measures to be implemented; the estimated budget; the targets to be attained by the completion date of the programme and the anticipated benefits thereof; and appropriate indicators to measure the achievement of the targets of the programme. In each multiannual national programme, the information referred to in points (b), (d), and (f) of the first subparagraph shall be provided for each year covered by the programme, in the case of significant changes compared to the previous year. The information referred to in point (e) of that subparagraph shall be provided for each year covered by the programme. If the occurrence or the development of one of the animal diseases or zoonoses listed pursuant to Article 10 is likely to constitute a threat to the health status of the Union and in order to protect the Union from the introduction of one of those diseases or zoonoses, Member States may include in their national programmes measures to be implemented in territories of neighbouring third countries in cooperation with the authorities of those countries.
