COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of 11 November 1980 laying down conditions designed to render and keep the territory of the Community free from classical swine fever (80/1095/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 100 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas one of the Community's tasks in the veterinary field is to improve the state of health of livestock, in order to increase the profitability of stock farming;

Whereas this improvement must ensure that the state of health of livestock is brought to the most satisfactory level for the Community as a whole and maintained at that level;

Whereas the action to be taken under an accelerated eradication plan must be gradual and be based upon the varying situations in the Member States or parts thereof ; whereas this plan may, subject to certain conditions, be implemented on a regional basis;

Whereas, if the disease accidentally recurs in a Member State or a part thereof previously cleared of the disease, suitable measures must be taken for the immediate elimination of the disease so that the disease-free classification may be restored as soon as possible;

Whereas action of this kind should serve to eliminate obstacles to trade in live animals between Member States caused by differences in their animal health situations;

Whereas the free movement of live pigs between Member States or parts thereof will be aided by making and keeping Member States or parts thereof free from classical swine fever;

Whereas provision should be made for close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission for this purpose,
