# Commission Decision of 25 June 2010 on the implementation by Member States of surveillance programmes for avian influenza in poultry and wild birds (notified under document C(2010) 4190) (Text with EEA relevance) (2010/367/EU), Division 2.1: Risk-Based Surveillance (RBS)

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

RBS shall be the preferred method for the carrying out of surveillance for avian influenza in a targeted and resource efficient way.
The appropriate Minister choosing that method shall specify the relevant risk pathways for infection of poultry flocks and the sampling frame for poultry holdings identified as being at a higher risk of becoming infected with avian influenza.
The criteria and risk factors listed in Section 4.1 are not exhaustive, but give an indication of how to target sampling and testing of poultry species and poultry production categories in different husbandry systems. Depending of the individual animal health situation ..., they may need to be weighted differently.
