I,(Acts whose publication is obligatory),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,THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE,EUROPEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,and in particular Article 152(4)(b) thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and,Social Committee (2),After consulting the Committee of the Regions,Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article,251 of the Treaty (3),Whereas:,(1) Live animals and food of animal origin appear on the list,in Annex I to the Treaty. Livestock farming and the,placing on the market of food of animal origin constitute,an important source of income for farmers. The,implementation of veterinary measures aimed at raising,the level of public and animal health in the Community,assists the rational development of the farming sector.,(2) The protection of human health against diseases and,infections transmissible directly or indirectly between,animals and humans (zoonoses) is of paramount importance.,(3) Zoonoses transmissible through food may cause human,suffering, as well as economic losses to food production,and the food industry.,(4) Zoonoses transmitted through sources other than food,especially from wild animal and pet animal populations,are also a matter of concern.,(5) Zoonoses present at the level of primary production,must be adequately controlled to ensure that the objectives,of this Regulation are achieved. However, in the,case of primary production leading to the direct supply,of small quantities of primary products, by the food,business operator producing them, to the final consumer,or to local shops, it is appropriate to protect public,health through national law. In this case there is a close,relationship between the producer and the consumer.,Such production should not make a significant contribution,to the average prevalence of zoonoses in animal,populations in the Community as a whole. The general,requirements for sampling and analysis may not be practical,or appropriate for producers with very small,numbers of animals who may be located in regions,suffering from special geographical constraints.,(6) Council Directive 92/117/EEC of 17 December 1992,concerning measures for protection against specified,zoonoses and specified zoonotic agents in animals and,products of animal origin in order to prevent outbreaks,of food-borne infections and intoxications (4) provided,for the establishment of monitoring systems for certain,zoonoses and controls on salmonella in certain poultry,flocks.,(7) That Directive required Member States to submit to the,Commission the national measures that they had taken,to achieve the objectives of the Directive and to draw up,plans for monitoring salmonella in poultry. However,Council Directive 97/22/EC (5) amending Directive 92/,117/EEC suspended the requirement pending the review,provided for in Article 15a of Directive 92/117/EEC.,12.12.2003 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 325/1,(1) OJ C 304 E, 30.10.2001, p. 260.,(2) OJ C 94, 18.4.2002, p. 18.,(3) Opinion of the European Parliament of 15 May 2002 (OJ C 180 E,31.7.2003, p. 160), Council Common Position of 20 February,2003 (OJ C 90 E, 15.4.2003, p. 25) and Position of the European,Parliament of 19 June 2003 (not yet published in the Official,Journal). Council Decision of 29 September 2003.,(4) OJ L 62, 15.3.1993, p. 38. Directive as last amended by Council,Regulation (EC) No 806/2003 (OJ L 122, 16.5.2003, p. 1).,(5) OJ L 113, 30.4.1997, p. 9.,(8) Several Member States have already submitted their,plans for the monitoring of salmonella, which the,Commission has approved. Moreover, all Member States,were required, with effect from 1 January 1998, to fulfil,the minimum measures laid down for salmonella in,Annex III, Section I, to Directive 92/117/EEC, and to,establish rules specifying the measures to be taken to,avoid the introduction of salmonella on to a farm.,(9) Those minimum measures focused on monitoring and,controlling salmonella in breeding flocks of the species,Gallus gallus. When serotypes Salmonella enteritidis or,Salmonella typhimurium were detected and confirmed in,samples taken, Directive 92/117/EEC laid down specific,measures to control the infection.,(10) Other Community legislation provides for the monitoring,and control of certain zoonoses in animal populations.,In particular Council Directive 64/432/EEC of 26,June 1964 on animal health problems affecting intra-,Commu……
