(17) In addition, specific rules on transmissible animal diseases, including those transmissible to humans (‘zoonoses’), are already laid down in Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (OJ L 147, 31.5.2001, p. 1). , Directive 2003/99/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council Directive 2003/99/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 November 2003 on the monitoring of zoonoses and zoonotic agents, amending Council Decision 90/424/EEC and repealing Council Directive 92/117/EEC (OJ L 325, 12.12.2003, p. 31). and Regulation (EC) No 2160/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council 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 (OJ L 325, 12.12.2003, p. 1). , and specific rules on communicable diseases in humans are laid down in Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2013 on serious cross-border threats to health and repealing Decision No 2119/98/EC (OJ L 293, 5.11.2013, p. 1). . Those acts should remain in force following the adoption of this Regulation. Accordingly, in order to avoid any overlap of Union legislation, this Regulation should only apply to zoonoses to the extent that specific rules are not already laid down in those other Union acts. In addition, this Regulation applies without prejudice to the rules provided for in other Union legislative acts, such as in the fields of veterinary medicine and animal welfare.
