The potential danger of LPAI, highlighted by recent research, shows that viruses of low pathogenicity can, after circulation for short periods in a poultry population, mutate into highly pathogenic viruses.

Initially, only wild birds were affected, and when the first cases of infection amongst farmed birds were confirmed, the demand for poultry went into free fall.

Since the last meeting of the Council, vaccination had been authorised in one region of France for ducks and geese and in the Netherlands for backyard flocks, poultry not confined, birds for hobby, and that these vaccination programmes should be considered as pilot projects that could provide more scientific information.

As regards his recent visit to the South-East Asian countries affected by the highly pathogenic virus H5N1 Asian strain, he recalled that the EU budget had pledged to allocate € 30 millions for the eradication of AI in Asia and would bring its technical expertise to bear with a view to the global ministerial pledging conference to be held on 17 and 18 January 2006 in Beijing (China). However he noted the difficulties for South-East Asian countries to implement plans to eradicate diseases, notably due to the endemic problems of close contact between humans and poultry in individual farms with the presence of backyard flocks.

- Modalities : First reduction stage of five years Credit for measures taken since 1986 - Scope : Priority to the sectors in structural surplus (cereals, rice, sugar, oilseeds, milk, beef and veal, pigmeat, eggs and poultry meat) - Rhythm : The scale of the movement should relate to a certain extent to the world market situation. An open approach : rebalancing and tariffication The problems occurring in agriculture are not exclusively due to excessive levels of support. The means by which support and protection are ensured is equally a source of serious difficulty. In particular, the different levels of support and protection for product ...[+++]s directly competing at the production or consumption level provoke imbalances and inconsistencies, which are a cause of trade distortions. The Uruguay Round provides a unique opportunity to tackle this question by the rebalancing of support and protection. This is a fundamental question for the Community. Given the fact that rebalancing can be solved in the context of tariffication, the Commission is prepared to consider including elements of tariffication in the rules of external protection : - Boarder protection assured by a fixed component (reduced at a similar rate as the SMU) completed by a corrective factor taking into account exchange rate variations and world market fluctuations beyond certain agreed limits.
