Développements futurs sous la présidence belgeJuillet 2010: première discussion concernant la feuille de route pour les EST II
• Feed ban: Les résultats des recherches de la Laboratoire de Référence Communautaire (LRC) de Gembloux sur un test discriminative efficace semblent être favorables. Une proposition de la CE sur l’utilisation des farines animales pour les aliments destinés aux non-ruminants (porcs et volailles) est probable. Condition primordiale pour l’autorisation des farines animales est le principe ‘anti-cannibalisme’.
• MRSMesure importante pour la protection des consommateurs. L’enlèvement des MRS est la mesure La plus importante dans la prévention des EST. Un cadre stricte restera maintenu. Seulesdes petites modifications seront possibles (ex modifications du seuil de l’âge).

Animal health and welfare (AHAW)Providing science for policy
Per Have
FESASS General assembly 21 June 2010
Science for Policy
• REGULATION (EC) No 178/2002 (Food law)– The Community should have access to high-quality,
independent and efficient scientific and technical support… to achieve a high level of health protection
– (EFSA)…should take on the role of an independent scientific point of reference in risk assessment and in so doing should assist in ensuring the smooth functioning of the internal market
– (EFSA)…should be an independent scientific source of advice, information and risk communication…nevertheless, the link between risk assessors and risk managers should be strengthened.
2
3
Science for Policy
• REGULATION (EC) No 178/2002– (EFSA)…should provide a comprehensive
independent scientific view of the safety and other aspects of the whole food and feed supply chains, which implies wide-ranging responsibilities for the Authority
– However, it is necessary to ensure that the Authority focuses on food safety, so its mission in relation to animal health, animal welfare and plant health issues that are not linked to the safety of the food supply chain should be limited to the provision of scientific opinions.
EFSA key values
• Openness and transparency• Excellence in science
– Rules for selection of experts– Good risk assessment practices
• Independence– Declaration of interests (DOIs)
• Responsiveness– Long term work plan while maintaining ability to
respond to urgent matters
4
5
AHAW Unit
• Scientific and administrative support to AHAW Panel and ad hoc working groups– Plenary meetings of Panel– Working group meetings
• Cooperation with Memer States– AHAW scientific network for risk assessment– Grants and procurements (Art. 36)– Public consultations (stakeholders)
• Close collaboration with European Commission, EU Agencies (ECDC, EMEA) and other international organisations
6
Animal Health and Welfare Panel(AHAW)
• AHAW Panel deals with all aspects of animal health and animal welfare, primarily relating to food producing animals including fish– Generic scientific opinions– Risk assessments
• Mandate/question– usually requested by European Commission
• European Parliament, Member States– EFSA can self-task
7
Structure of opinions
•Gathering scientific evidence– Published scientific literature– Disease information (MS, CRL, ADNS, OIE)– Outsourcing by grants and procurements– Public consultation
•Scientific interpretation– May include risk assessment
•Conclusions and recommendations
Scientific evidence
• Published scientific studies
• EU research projects and networks
• Knowledge about specific disease situation– Epidemiology– Surveillance– Available diagnostic methods and standards
8
Interacting with the research community
• DG Research always invited for meetings
• EU research projects and networks– Direct contact with experts– Access to unpublished scientific data– Input to priority research topics
• Networking with MS– AHAW scientific network for risk
assessment– EFSA-MS Information exchange
platform
9
Role of EFSA in contributing to the improvement of animal health in Europe
• Position paper adopted November 2008
– Sets out EFSA’s objectives to further reinforce EFSA’s integrated approach in the animal health area in the context of the EU Animal Health Strategy
10
11
Prioritisation of EU intervention(Pillar 1)
“The new Animal Health strategy must be seen as an integrated risk assessment and management strategy focusing on biological and chemical risks of EU relevance.”
• Prioritization of interventions should be based on sound science and appropriate risk assessment
• Risk assessments must be based on sound data– Need cooperation on data exchange between EFSA, EC, other
EU agencies, Member States and EU reference laboratories

12
Better prevention, surveillance and crisis preparedness (Pillar 3)
“Identifying problems before they take hold, and being ready to manage outbreaks and crises”
• Farm biosecurity– Guidelines taking into account the level of risk associated with
different types of production systems and species
• Surveillance– To encourage collaborative networks of interested parties,
especially through ECDC and EFSA to improve data collection, risk analysis and information to the public
• Emergency response– Support rapid response networks and crisis management
13
Science, Innovation and Research (Pillar 4)
“To stimulate and coordinate risk analysis, science, innovation and research, hence contributing to a high level of public health and to the competitiveness of EU animal health businesses.”
• Identify “gaps” of scientific evidence and knowledge related to existing tools for surveillance, diagnosis, vaccination and treatment.
• Develop risk assessment methodologies for animal health and welfare
• Develop effective collaboration on data exchange in order to decrease time needed for delivery of scientific advice
• Provide recommendations for future research programs

Fulfilling EFSA objectives of the animal health strategy
Goals:
1. To deliver the best scientific advice at the right time and in the most appropriate manner for risk managers
2. To decrease the time needed for risk assessment and scientific advice on animal health and welfare by enabling the rapid access to and use of already collected data by data exchange between EFSA and the EC
3. To provide scientific support for EU surveillance programmes foranimal diseases, zoonoses and animal welfare as well as analysing the results of surveillance
4. To provide scientific support for EU crisis preparedness5. To avoid unnecessary divergence in opinions between EFSA and
MS competent authorities or other relevant EU institutions6. To mobilise and coordinate scientific expertise throughout the EU
on issues within the remit of EFSA

Unprecedented movement of commodities and people are used by pathogens to colonize the entire planet
2010 forecast: 2.3 billion passengers and 40.3Mt of air freight
8 billion tons of worldwide international ocean-borne cargo in 2007 (in 2010 USDT Report)
Globalisation

Globalisation
Nowadays pathogens are transported around the world faster than the average incubation time of most epizootics
Climate changes and human behaviour allow colonisation of new territories by vectors and pathogens (e.g. bluetongue in Europe)
6
The growing importance of the zoonotic potential of animal pathogens
‣ 60% of human pathogens are zoonotic
‣ 75% of emerging diseases are zoonotic
‣ 80% of agents with potential bioterrorist use are zoonotic pathogens
7
Some projections towards 2050 indicate that the demand for animal proteins, in particular
milk and eggs, will increase by more than 50% (+ 200Mt), especially in developing
countries
Trends in animal protein consumption
8
Trends in animal protein consumption
Shift from poverty to middle-class(+1 billion people expected)
Increase in the number of daily meals
More milk, eggs and meat in meals
It is probably impossible to avoid the intensification of animal production worldwide
9
Which concepts to promote in order to protect countries and regions from emerging and re-emerging diseases
‣ The Global Public Good concept
‣ The « One world, One health » concept
‣ The Good Governance of Veterinary Services
10
Global public goods are goods whose benefits extend to all
countries, people and generations
The Global Public Good Concept
11
‣ In relation to the control and eradication of infectious diseases, the benefits are international and inter-generational in scope
‣ Countries depend on each other
‣ Animal health systems are not commercial nor strictly agricultural goods. They are fully eligible for national and global public resources
Failure of one country may endanger the entire planet
The Global Public Good Concept

‣ The role and responsibilities of the OIE correspond to a Global Public Good whose benefits extend to all countries, people and generations, incl. major food companies that operate across the global food supply chain
‣ Sanitary crises, causing considerable economic losses, may be prevented by appropriate implementation of OIE standards on good governance by all those concerned
The OIE vision
13
‣ Effective implementation however, cannot take place without:• the political will of both rich and poor countries.
Considering the strong, global influence and lobbying capacity of certain major food companies, their role can be instrumental in both advocating and promoting the implementation of such good governance standards;
• providing or advocating effective financial and technical support to those who are not in a position to apply such international standards due to a lack of financial and human resources

Sept. 2007
Initial needs presented
15
A global strategy for preventing and
managing risks at the human-animal interface
Oct. 2008
The One World One Health Concept (OWOH)
16
Food security
‣ Food shortages are also a public health problem, just like food safety
‣ Impact of animal diseases on animal production/losses of animal products (~20% worldwide)
‣ Protection of goods (productive livestock = capital)
‣ Market Access: local, regional and international
‣ Poverty alleviation (1 billion poor livestock producers)
‣ Environmental cost/benefit studies are to be completed: milk versus meat, traction, ploughing, fertilisation, natural pastoral resources …
17
The public and private componentsof Veterinary Services are in the front
line regarding these matters in all countries of the world
18
A stronger collaboration between WHO, FAO and OIE
Sharing responsibilities and coordinating global activities to address health risks at the animal-human-ecosystems interfaces
19
OIE Studies
I. Economic analysis – Prevention versus outbreak costs
II. Feasibility study – A global fund for emergency response in developing countries
III. Pre-feasibility study – Supporting insurance of disease losses
IV. Cost of national prevention systems for animal diseases and zoonoses in developing and transition countries
V. Listing and Categorisation of priority animal diseases, including those transmissible to humans
20
OIE mandate

2. To collect, analyze and disseminate scientific veterinary informationscientific veterinary information
3. To provide expertise and encourage international solidarity in the in the controlcontrol of animal diseasesof animal diseases
4. Within its mandate under the WTO SPS Agreement, to safeguard world trade by publishing health standardshealth standards for international trade in animals and animal products
5. To improve the legal framework and resources of national Veterinary national Veterinary ServicesServices
6. To provide a better guarantee of the safety of food of animal originsafety of food of animal originand to promote animal welfareanimal welfare through a science-based approach
22
OIE standards and the SPS Agreement
‣ International standards,guidelines and recommendations for animal health and zoonoses, the standards, guidelines and recommendations developed under the auspices of the OIE
‣ OIE standards integrate the outcome of a risk assessment and thus make additional risk assessments redundant

A Private Sector Perspective on Private Standards
“Collective efforts are needed on the part of food system stakeholders, governments and intergovernmental organizations to ensure food safety, animal health, animal welfare and plant health as these aspects of food production are critical to consumer confidence, affordability and food security. The food industry recognizes the critical importance of the work undertaken by the OIE, CAC and IPPC and has started to take steps which better align private certification schemes with public standards. The scientific evidence-based nature of the official public standards, the transparent process of their development and consensus based mechanism for their adoption are respected by the food industry.”
(Concluding remark - M. Robach - 78th OIE SG/9) 24

Good Governance of Veterinary Services: the PVS Pathway
32
Requirements for all countries
Need for adequate legislation and its efficient implementation through appropriate human, technical and financial resources allowing national animal health systems to provide for:
• Appropriate surveillance, early detection, transparency• Rapid response to animal disease outbreaks• Biosecurity measures• Compensation• Vaccination when appropriate
Deregulation can be source of biological disasters
Good Governance of Veterinary Services
