    The modified proposal incorporates the four amendments of the European Parliament: - the abnormally high mortality of molluscs should be seen as a sudden process which affects approximately 15% of the stocks and which takes place over a short period between two inspections (about 15 days); - as regards the register, this may be examined by the official body at any time, at the latter's request, and must be regularly updated and kept for a period of four years; - the Member States shall ensure that a permanent monitoring and sampling programme is set up at mollusc farms and in those areas of natural deposits where bivalve molluscs are gathered; - in addition to the list of sites where the diseases referred to in annex A, list II, of Directive 91/67/EEC are present, there is a need for a list to be drawn up of those zones in which abnormally high mortality levels have been recorded, as well as a list of those pathogenic agents which have been catalogued in these zones, particularly among those host species which do not appear in list II of annex A to Directive 91/67/EEC. �

    Having delegated its decision-making power to its Committee on Fisheries (in accordance with the procedure laid down in Rule 52 of the EP's Rules of Procedure), the European Parliament approved this proposal for a directive with the following amendments: - the abnormal morality rate among bivalve molluscs should be seen as a sudden process which affected approximately 15% of the stocks and which occurred over a short period of time between two inspections (about 15 days); - the register should be available for examination by the official body at its request and should be updated and kept for a period of four years; - in addition to the establishment of a list of farms where mollusc diseases were present, an additional record should be kept of areas where there was an abnormal mortality rate, as well as a list of the pathogenic agents catalogued in those areas, particularly among those host species not included in list II of Annex A to Directive 91/67/EEC. �

  • COM(1994)0401 summary

    The proposal for a directive aimed to establish Community measures to control diseases affecting bivalve molluscs (oysters, mussels). The proposed control measures were designed to prevent the spread of diseases which were a source of substantial losses. To this end, it was important to establish a system to monitor molluscs at farms and in those areas where they grew naturally. This monitoring should help identify the locations where the problems arose. In this case, samples should be taken for examination in an approved laboratory. If diseases were found to be present, the official body in the Member State should take measures to control the situation. In order to guarantee the effectiveness of these arrangements, it was proposed that the diagnosis of diseases be harmonised and entrusted to approved laboratories whose work could be coordinated by a reference laboratory appointed and funded by the Community. �
