These programmes include Salmonella management in poultry (breeders, turkeys, broilers, and layers), and the surveillance of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, avian influenza, Brucella, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Aujeszky's disease, and scrapie. The resolution is issued in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/620 and Royal Decree 2611/1996.

How it affects those involved

For affected livestock holdings (poultry, cattle, pigs, and sheep/goats), the regulation establishes the operational framework for sanitary surveillance and control that must be followed to guarantee disease-free status. Compliance with these programmes is essential for the marketing of products and the prevention of outbreaks that could lead to movement restrictions or sanitary sanctions. Specific programmes are available for detailed consultation on the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food website.
