Expenditure in the veterinary field. Codification

PURPOSE: to codify Council Decision 90/424/EEC on expenditure in the veterinary field.

PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.

CONTENT: the purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Council Decision 90/424/EEC on expenditure in the veterinary field. The new Decision will supersede the various acts incorporated in it. This proposal fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bring them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.

The codification proposal was drawn up on the basis of a preliminary consolidation, in all official languages, of Decision 90/424/EEC and the instruments amending it, carried out by the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, by means of a data-processing system. Where the Articles have been given new numbers, the correlation between the old and the new numbers is shown in a table set out in Annex III to the codified Decision.
