Article 48 Final and intermediate targets
United Kingdom
The competent authority shall include in the eradication programme qualitative and quantitative final targets that cover all the disease specific requirements laid down in Article 72 for granting disease-free status.
Where this is technically possible, the competent authority implementing an eradication programme shall also include in that programme qualitative and quantitative final targets based on the health status of wild animal populations that constitute a threat to the achievement of disease-free status.
The competent authority shall include in the eradication programme qualitative and quantitative intermediate annual or multiannual targets to reflect progress made towards the final targets. These intermediate targets shall include:
all of the disease specific requirements referred to in paragraph 1 and the targets provided for in paragraph 2; and
if necessary, additional requirements that are not included in the requirements for granting disease-free status to assess progress towards eradication.
