THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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, and in particular Article 59(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Directive 2006/88/EC lays down health requirements to be applied for the placing on the market, the importation and the transit of aquaculture animals and products thereof, and minimum preventive measures aimed at increasing the awareness and preparedness of the competent authorities, aquaculture production business operators and others related to this industry, for diseases in aquaculture animals.

(2) In order to improve the prevention of the occurrence and spread of the diseases listed in Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC, information on aquaculture production businesses and authorised processing establishments, especially on species kept and their health status, should be made electronically available by the Member States.

(3) The data are currently publicly available in the registers kept by Member States pursuant to Article 6 of Directive 2006/88/EC.

(4) In order to facilitate the interoperability of information systems and the use of procedures by electronic means between Member States, and to ensure transparency and comprehensibility, it is important that the information on aquaculture production businesses and authorised processing establishments is presented in a uniform way throughout the Community. An Internet-based information page is technically the most feasible solution, as it ensures easy access to such information and does not involve too many resources. A model for the layout of the Internet-based information page should therefore be drawn up.

(5) Annex II to Directive 2006/88/EC establishes the information required in the register of aquaculture production businesses and authorised processing establishments. As the aim of the Internet-based information page is to facilitate the interoperability of the relevant information recorded in the registers of aquaculture production businesses established by Member States, the website does not necessarily have to include all that information. It should however include all the information which is relevant to detect any trade restrictions caused by different health status.

(6) Directive 2006/88/EC provides that, by way of derogation from the authorisation requirement laid down in that Directive, Member States may require only the registration by the competent authority of installations other than aquaculture production businesses where aquatic animals are kept without the intention of being placed on the market, put and take fisheries and aquaculture production businesses supplying local consumers.

(7) The risk of the spread aquatic animal diseases posed by installations, put and take fisheries and aquaculture production businesses which, by way of derogation from Article 4(1) of Directive 2006/88/EC, are registered by the competent authority, varies depending on the their nature, characteristics, and location. Member States should therefore decide to what extent information on those installations, put and take fisheries and aquaculture production businesses should be included in the Internet-based information page.

(8) As a sufficient period of time should be provided to allow Member States to complete the Internet-based information page with the relevant information on the aquaculture production businesses and authorised processing establishments, it should be provided for that that information is only to be available by 31 July 2009 at the latest.

(9) 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 Subject matter and scope

1. This Decision lays down rules on an Internet-based information page to be established by the Member States to make information on aquaculture production businesses and authorised processing establishments available by electronic means in accordance with Article 59 of Directive 2006/88/EC.

2. This Decision shall apply mutatis mutandis to installations, put and take fisheries and aquaculture production businesses which, by way of derogation from Article 4(1) of Directive 2006/88/EC, are registered by the competent authority in accordance with Article 4(4) of that Directive subject to the second subparagraph of Article 2(1) of this Decision.

Article 2 Internet-based information page

1. The Member States shall establish an Internet-based information page (the Internet-based information page) to make available information on farms or mollusc farming areas of aquaculture production businesses and authorised processing establishments which are authorised in accordance with Article 4 of Directive 2006/88/EC. Member States shall decide on a case-by-case basis which installations, put and take fisheries and aquaculture production businesses referred to in Article 1(2) must be listed on the Internet-based information page, taking into account the risk of the spread of aquatic animal diseases resulting from the operations of such installations, fisheries and businesses, based on their nature, characteristics and location.

2. The Internet-based information page shall be drawn up by the Member States in conformity with the models laid down in the following Annexes:

(a) Annex I for aquaculture production businesses keeping fish;

(b) Annex II for aquaculture production businesses keeping molluscs;

(c) Annex III for aquaculture production businesses keeping crustaceans;

(d) Annex IV for authorised processing establishments slaughtering aquaculture animals for disease control purposes, referred to in Article 4(2) of Directive 2006/88/EC.

3. Member States shall keep the Internet-based information page updated so that it corresponds with the information included in the register kept pursuant to Article 6 of Directive 2006/88/EC. Changes in health status shall be introduced in the Internet-based information page as soon as the health status recorded has changed.

4. Member States shall communicate the Internet address of the Internet-based information page to the Commission.

Article 3 Date of application

This Decision shall apply from 1 August 2008. However, the Internet-based information page shall be completed with the information referred to in Article 2(2) and in Annexes I to IV by 31 July 2009 at the latest.

Article 4 Addressees

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

  Article 185(5) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts regarding additional information to be included in the registers of registered and approved aquaculture establishments kept by the competent authority and public access to those registers. Subject to the data protection requirements laid down in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, the information which should be made publicly available by the competent authority should reflect the requirements set out in Article 185(2)(a),(c),(e) and (f) of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 whi

  More specific information should, however, also be included in the public register of the competent authority regarding the health status of each approved establishment in order to facilitate safe trade and to ensure stakeholders know whether or not a given aquaculture establishment is free from a specific category B or C disease, is subject to an eradication programme for a specific category B or C disease, is in a surveillance programme for a specific category C disease, or if it has none of those health statuses.
