Abstract

These Regulations implement Council Directive 2000/27/EC amending Council Directive 93/53/EC introducing minimum Community measures for the control of certain fish diseases. The Directive amends Directive 93/53/EC to provide for a scheme to be established in respect of the withdrawal of fish confirmed as having a disease referred to in Annex A, list I to Directive 91/67/EC and for authorization to be given for the vaccination of fish against such disease. These Regulations: (a) allow fish on a farm which has been confirmed as having infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) to be withdrawn in accordance with the scheme (reg. 5); (b) allow the vaccination of fish against ISA if so authorized by the Minister (reg. 6); (c) make consequential amendments (regs. 4(a)(i) and (b), 7 and 8). The provisions allowing fish on a farm which has been confirmed as having ISA to be withdrawn in accordance with the scheme apply from the date on which the scheme is approved by the Commission in accordance with procedure laid down in Article 19(2) of Directive 93/53/EC (reg. 9).
