Abstract

Several European countries have implemented country specific programmes to control cattle diseases with little or no regulation in the European Union (EU). These control programmes vary between member states, impairing a confident comparison of freedom from disease when cattle originate from different countries. In order to facilitate safe trade, there is a need to support the development of transparent methods that enable comparison of outputs of surveillance, control or eradication programmes. The aim of the COST Action (CA 17110), Standardizing OUtput-based surveillance to control Non-regulated Diseases in the EU (SOUND control), is the development of a generic and joint understanding of the requirements and characteristics needed for a flexible output-based framework. This framework should be able to substantiate the confidence of disease freedom and cost-effectiveness of heterogeneous surveillance, control or eradication programmes for cattle diseases in the EU. This project supports other initiatives in the development of an output-based framework which will subsequently facilitate safe trade and support the improvement of disease control measures, which is of great importance as the cattle sector contributes to one third of the total gross production value of EU agriculture.

Funding

A research grant was received from the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST, www.COST.EU ) that provided the opportunity to work on the topic of output based surveillance and to achieve mutual goals with a wide variety of scientists, stakeholders, policy makers and other relevant professionals from different countries ( Anon, 2020a ). COST is an organization funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 framework that provides funding for researchers and innovators to set up interdisciplinary research networks. This work is supported by Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union and COST – European Cooperation in Science & Technology .
