The emergence of this disease presented a serious risk for the Community's livestock population.\n(2)\nIn order to prevent the spread of the disease and to help eradicate it as quickly as possible, the Community should contribute financially towards the eligible expenditure incurred by the Member State under the emergency measures taken to combat the disease, as provided for in Decision 90/424/EEC.\n(3)\nCommission Decision 2003/491/EC of 3 July 2003 on a financial contribution from the Community towards the eradication of classical swine fever in Luxembourg in 2002 granted a financial contribution from the Community to Luxembourg towards the expenditure incurred under the emergency measures to combat classical swine fever implemented in 2002.\n(4)\nIn accordance with that Decision, a first instalment of EUR 500 000 was granted.\n(5)\nPursuant to that Decision, the balance of the Community contribution is to be based on the application submitted by Luxembourg on 17 July 2003, documents setting out the figures quoted in the application, and the results of the in situ checks carried out by the Commission. The amount set out in the application submitted by Luxembourg was EUR 3 253 235, for which the Community financial contribution may not be higher than 50 % of the total eligible expenditure.\n(6)\nIn view of those considerations, the total amount of the Community’s financial contribution to the eligible expenditure incurred associated with the eradication of classical swine fever in Luxembourg in 2002 should now be fixed.\n(7)\nThe results of the checks carried out by the Commission in compliance with the Community veterinary rules and the conditions for granting Community financial support mean the entire amount of the expenditure submitted cannot be recognised as eligible for a Community financial contribution.\n(8)\nThe Commission’s observations and method of calculating the eligible expenditure were communicated to Luxembourg in a letter dated 4 November 2005.\n(9)\nThe Commission’s final conclusions were sent to Luxembourg on 18 January 2006, taking into account the additional information sent by Luxembourg to the Commission on 15 December 2005.\n(10)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
