         COMMISSION DECISION
   of 7 December 2010
   amending Annexes I and II to Decision 2010/221/EU as regards approved national measures by Hungary and the United Kingdom for spring viraemia of carp
   (notified under document C(2010) 8617)
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   (2010/761/EU)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 43(2) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Decision 2010/221/EU of 15 April 2010 approving national measures for limiting the impact of certain diseases in aquaculture animals and wild aquatic animals in accordance with Article 43 of Council Directive 2006/88/EC (2) allows certain Member States to apply placing on the market and import restrictions on consignments of those animals in order to prevent the introduction of certain diseases, including spring viraemia of carp (SVC), provided that the Member States have either demonstrated that they, or certain demarcated areas, are free of the disease in question (‘disease-free areas’) or that they have established an eradication programme to obtain such freedom.

               (2)

               Annex I to Decision 2010/221/EU lists the disease-free areas and Annex II thereto lists the areas with approved eradication programmes.

               (3)

               Annex II to Decision 2010/221/EU currently lists Great Britain as an area of the United Kingdom with approved eradication programme for SVC. That Member State has now submitted information demonstrating that its eradication programme has been successfully completed and that Great Britain should be regarded as free of SVC and listed in Annex I, instead of in Annex II, to that Decision as regards that disease.

               (4)

               Hungary has submitted to the Commission applications for the approval of national measures as regards SVC. Hungary has also conducted targeted surveillance of SVC for the last two years which has demonstrated that its entire territory is free of SVC. Hungary should therefore be listed in Annex I to Decision 2010/221/EU as free of SVC.

               (5)

               Annexes I and II to Decision 2010/221/EU should therefore be amended accordingly.

               (6)

               The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Annexes I and II to Decision 2010/221/EU are replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
   Article 2
   This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

               (2)

               (3)

               The group should help to develop a joint strategy to make data management in the Union more effective and efficient, in full respect of data protection requirements, to better protect its external borders and enhance its internal security. The group should take a broad and comprehensive perspective on border management and law enforcement, taking into account the relevant customs authorities' roles, responsibilities and systems.

               (4)

               The group should be composed of the Member States' competent authorities, the competent authorities from the associated members of the Schengen Area which are not members of the European Union, the European Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice (eu-LISA), the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (Frontex), the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), the European Asylum Support Office (EASO), the European Police Office (Europol) and the Counter-Terrorism Coordinator (CTC).

               (5)

               Rules on disclosure of information by members of the group should be laid down.

               (6)

               (7)

There is hereby attached to the Commission an Advisory Committee on Foodstuffs. It may be consulted by the Commission on all problems concerning the harmonization of legislation relating to foodstuffs.  2.

Article 2 1. The committee shall consist of 10 permanent members and 20 experts divided into five economic groups representing agriculture, commerce, consumers, industry and employees.  2. Each of the groups listed in paragraph 1 shall have two permanent members assisted by four experts.  3.

The term of office of a replacement permanent member shall expire at the same time as the terms of office of the other permanent members.  4. The bodies and organizations listed in the Annex shall propose to the Commission for their respective economic groups candidates for appointment as permanent members, and shall appoint the experts who will assist them.  They shall propose to the Commission, each in respect of its own interests, four candidates of different nationality from whose number the Commission shall appoint the permanent members.  They shall inform the secretariat of the committee, by letter addressed at least eight days before each meeting, of the name(s) and address(es) of the experts they propose to assign to each subject appearing on the agenda.  5. In the absence of a single Community body or organization representing a group covered by the committee, the Commission shall appoint the  (1)OJ No L 182, 12.7.1975, p. 35. (2)OJ No L 251, 14.9.1978, p. 18.  permanent members for that group on the basis of the proposals from the most representative among the existing organizations set up at Community level, in accordance with the procedure set out in paragraph 4.  In this case the permanent members appointed by the Commission shall, with the assistance of those organizations, jointly appoint the experts brought in to assist them.  6. Organizations and bodies presenting a candidate for appointment as a permanent member may ask the Commission to replace him during the member's term of office.   Article 3 1. The chairmanship of the committee shall be held for a period of three years by a permanent member of one of the economic groups represented on it.  2. The chairman shall be elected at the first ballot by a majority vote of two-thirds of the permanent members present and at subsequent ballots by a majority vote of the permanent members present.  3. The permanent members shall elect two vice-chairmen from the permanent members of the economic groups to which the chairman does not belong, in accordance with the procedure set out in paragraph 2.   Article 4 The Commission shall provide the secretariat for the work of the committee.  It shall draw up the agendas for meetings, invite members whose attendance is required and supply them with documentation.   Article 5 The committee may set up working parties to examine technical subjects in connection with the drafting of regulatory measures concerning foodstuffs.  The Commission shall provide the chairman and the secretariat for these working parties.   Article 6 The Commission may invite experts who have special competence in a subject included on the agenda and who do not belong to one of the committee's working parties, to participate in the work of the committee or its working parties.  Any person thus invited shall participate only in discussions in respect of the subject which is the reason for his attendance.   Article 7 Representatives of the Commission departments concerned shall take part in meetings of the committee and of its working parties.   Article 8 1. The Commission may, on a proposal from the bodies and organizations listed in the Annex, appoint observers to provide administrative liaison with the secretariat of the committee for the term of office of the permanent members.  2. The observers may attend meetings of the committee and working parties. They may not take part in the discussions.   Article 9 1. No vote shall be taken after the discussions of the committee and its working parties.  2.

Within a time limit to be determined by the Commission after consultation of permanent members, the secretariat shall collect any requests for corrections from the participants in the committee meeting. In the absence of such requests within the time limit laid down, the opinion shall be considered adopted.  3.
