The Standing Veterinary Committee (SVC) voted on 14 February 2002 in favour of an amendment to the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) Regulation, stepping up the level of testing for TSEs in sheep and goats in Member States. The total number of tests per year in the European Union will be increased from 164,000 to 560,000. The derogations for Finland and Austria to certain BSE obligations have also been reviewed. |
