Article II Statuut van de Europese Commissie voor de bestrijding van mond- en klauwzeer

1 Members undertake to control foot-and-mouth disease with a view to its ultimate eradication by the institution of suitable quarantine and sanitary measures and by one or more of the following methods:

1. a slaughter policy;

2. slaughter together with vaccination;

3. maintenance of totally immune cattle population by vaccination; other susceptible livestock may be vaccinated;

4. vaccination in zones surrounding outbreaks.

Methods adopted shall be rigorously carried out.

2 Members adopting policy 2 or 4 undertake to have available a supply of vaccine or antigen for vaccine production sufficient to ensure adequate protection against the disease in case the spread of the disease cannot be controlled exclusively by sanitary measures. Each Member shall collaborate with and assist other Members in all concerted measures for the control of foot-and-mouth disease and in particular in the supply of vaccine or antigen for vaccine production where necessary. The quantities of antigen and vaccine to be stored for national and international use shall be determined by Members in the light of the findings of the Commission and the advice of the Office.

3 Members shall make such arrangements for the typing of virus from outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease as may be required by the Commission and shall immediately notify the Commission and the Office of the results of such typing.

4 Members shall make arrangements for the rapid dispatch of new isolates to the FAO designated World Reference Laboratory for further characterization.

5 Members undertake to provide the Commission with any information which it may need to carry out its functions. In particular, Members shall immediately report to the Commission and to the Office any outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease and its extent and shall make such further detailed reports as the Commission may require.
