Monitoring in ovine and caprine animals

The existing provisions relating to ewes and goats should be developed in the light of practical reality in so far as animals sometimes need to be replaced during the retention period, and to avoid undue penalisation in some cases of certain farmers maintaining both ewes and goats.

Directive 92/102/EEC should therefore be amended so that it states clearly that bovine animals are already excluded from its scope and, likewise, to exclude ovine and caprine animals.

"a) ovine and caprine animals for breeding shall either be sheep of the ARR/ARR prion protein genotype, as defined in Annex I of Commission Decision 2002/1003/EC(1), or they shall have been kept continuously since birth or for the last three years on a holding or holdings which have satisfied the following requirements for at least three years:
