Abstract
En 中文
This report comprises the 16th assessment of the Echinococcus multilocularis surveillance scientific reports, provided by Finland, Ireland, United Kingdom (Northern Ireland) and Norway on their respective surveillance programmes. Every year since 2012, EFSA presents the assessment to the European Commission (EC) in which the sampling strategy, data collection and detection methods used by these countries are evaluated. More specifically, the surveillance programmes of these four countries are evaluated by checking the information submitted by each of them and verifying that the technical requirements were fulfilled as laid down in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/772 of 21 November 2017 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to preventive health measures for the control of E. multilocularis infection in dogs, and repealing Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1152/2011. The information is divided in four different categories for assessment: the type and sensitivity of the detection method, the selection of the target population, the sampling strategy and the methodology. For each category, the main aspects that need to be considered to accomplish the technical requirements of the legislation are checked against compliance of several criteria. The countries participating in this surveillance (Finland, Ireland, the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland) and Norway) succeeded in the fulfilment of the technical legal requirements foreseen in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/772 concerning these four different categories. None of the four countries recorded positive samples in the 12-month reporting period.
