The Commission representative confirmed that from 2009 such vaccination programmes could no longer be considered as emergency measures; they would therefore cease to be eligible under Article 3 of Decision 90/424/EEC (veterinary fund) but rather be covered by Article 24 of the Decision (control, eradication and monitoring programmes), for which Community financing was currently capped at 50% of the cost of supplies of vaccines.
Komisjoni esindaja kinnitas omal poolt, et nimetatud vaktsineerimisprogramme ei saa alates 2009. aastast enam käsitada erakorraliste meetmetena ning need ei ole enam abikõlblikud otsuse 90/424/EMÜ (veterinaariafond) artikli 3 sätete kohaselt, vaid hoopis artikli 24 kohaselt, milles käsitletakse haiguste vastu võitlemise, nende likvideerimise ja seire programme, mille puhul ühenduse kaasrahastamise määr piirdub praegu 50 %-ga vaktsiini tarnekuludest.
