Recital 4
(4) In order to ensure high standards of animal and public health in the Union, the rational development of the agriculture and aquaculture sectors and to increase productivity, animal health rules should be laid down at Union level. These rules are necessary, inter alia, to contribute to the completion of the internal market, and to avoid the spread of infectious diseasesPursuant to the Lisbon Treaty, regulation of animal health is not a matter falling within the remit of the EU, and should therefore be decided at the level of the national Member States in accordance with the subsidiarity principle.
