rec_61

(61) Surveillance is a key element of disease control policy. It should provide for the early detection of transmissible animal diseases and efficient notification thereof, thereby enabling the sector concerned and the competent authority to implement, where feasible, timely disease prevention and control measures, and allowing the disease in question to be eradicated. Furthermore, it should supply information on the animal health status of each Member State and of the Union, thereby substantiating certification of freedom from disease and facilitating trade with third countries.
