Descripción
The European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-mouth Disease (EuFMD) is a specialist intergovernmental body within the legal framework of FAO. The 37 member states (MSs) of the EuFMD include 28 European Union countries and those European countries in Eastern Europe and the Southern Mediterranean that share borders with EuFMD member states. The EuFMD, which is governed by its member states and fully funded by its members, carries out actions that are funded by specific contracts with the European Commission (EC) and others. This report describes activities funded by the EC and carried out by the EuFMD between 2009 and 2013. The final beneficiaries of the project activities were livestock keepers in Europe and neighbourhood countries, and consumers (through reduced costs of animal proteins of ruminant and porcine origin). In addition to actions conducted in the 37 member states of the EuFMD, activities took place in East and West Africa as locations for the training of Europeans or the improvement of surveillance for FMD.
