rec_95

(95) For listed diseases which are not highly contagious and which are subject to compulsory rules requiring their eradication, the disease control measures should be implemented in such a way as to prevent the spread of the disease in question, in particular to non–infected areas. However, those measures may possibly be more limited than, or may be different from, those applicable in relation to the most dangerous listed diseases. This Regulation should therefore provide for special rules for those less dangerous diseases. Member States that have an optional eradication programme in place should also implement such disease control measures. In some cases, depending on the disease profile and the epidemiological situation, eradication may be a long-term objective, while the short-term aim may be to control the disease. However, the level and intensity of disease control measures should be proportionate and should take into account the characteristics of the listed disease in question, its distribution and its significance for the Member State concerned by it and for the Union as a whole.
