Stratégie de la santé Animale

Catégorisation des maladies animales




• ButLa nouvelle stratégie de la santé animale doit être basée sur des données fiables et doit être implémenté avec des instruments de décision appropriés. L’UE doit disposer d’une bonne connaissance des maladies animales et les menaces que celles-ci peuvent engendrées.

• Deux pistes actuels pour COM – Adaptation de l’instrument de décision de l’OIE– Projet de recherche : DISCONTOOLS (4ième pilier )



Etude OIEL’OIE dispose d’un instrument de catégorisation des maladies

animales, mais non-adapté aux conditions européennes.

But: Développement d’un instrument de catégorisation pour l’UE. • L’instrument doit permettre aux Autorités Vétérinaires regionales

ou nationales d’établir des priorités pour leur pays/région.• L’instrument doit faciliter les décisions de gestion de priorités et

catégoriser les maladies animales.• Contribution UE: € 200.000



Projet de recherche : DISCONTOOLS

• Initiative de l’industrie pharmaceutique (IFAH) en collaboration avec différents partenaires: Recherche scientifique, agriculteurs, vétérinaires, l’OIE, FAO,… unis au sein de la Plateforme Technologique Européenne pour la Santé Animale Mondiale (ETPGAH.)

• Financement: 7ième programme cadre, DG RESEARCH.• Timing: mars 2008 – mars 2012• But: développement d’un instrument de catégorisation et de prioritisation

des maladies animales. Cet instrument permettra de mieux orienter le financement et les priorités pour la recherche scientifique sur les nouveaux médicaments vétérinaires, vaccins, etc. nécessaire à la lutte et la prévention des maladies contagieuses émergentes et réemergentes.

Animal health and welfare (AHAW)Providing science for policy

Per Have

FESASS General assembly 21 June 2010

Science for Policy

• REGULATION (EC) No 178/2002 (Food law)– The Community should have access to high-quality,

independent and efficient scientific and technical support… to achieve a high level of health protection

– (EFSA)…should take on the role of an independent scientific point of reference in risk assessment and in so doing should assist in ensuring the smooth functioning of the internal market

– (EFSA)…should be an independent scientific source of advice, information and risk communication…nevertheless, the link between risk assessors and risk managers should be strengthened.

2

3

Science for Policy

• REGULATION (EC) No 178/2002– (EFSA)…should provide a comprehensive

independent scientific view of the safety and other aspects of the whole food and feed supply chains, which implies wide-ranging responsibilities for the Authority

– However, it is necessary to ensure that the Authority focuses on food safety, so its mission in relation to animal health, animal welfare and plant health issues that are not linked to the safety of the food supply chain should be limited to the provision of scientific opinions.

EFSA key values

• Openness and transparency• Excellence in science

– Rules for selection of experts– Good risk assessment practices

• Independence– Declaration of interests (DOIs)

• Responsiveness– Long term work plan while maintaining ability to

respond to urgent matters

4

5

AHAW Unit

• Scientific and administrative support to AHAW Panel and ad hoc working groups– Plenary meetings of Panel– Working group meetings

• Cooperation with Memer States– AHAW scientific network for risk assessment– Grants and procurements (Art. 36)– Public consultations (stakeholders)

• Close collaboration with European Commission, EU Agencies (ECDC, EMEA) and other international organisations

6

Animal Health and Welfare Panel(AHAW)

• AHAW Panel deals with all aspects of animal health and animal welfare, primarily relating to food producing animals including fish– Generic scientific opinions– Risk assessments

• Mandate/question– usually requested by European Commission

• European Parliament, Member States– EFSA can self-task

7

Structure of opinions

•Gathering scientific evidence– Published scientific literature– Disease information (MS, CRL, ADNS, OIE)– Outsourcing by grants and procurements– Public consultation

•Scientific interpretation– May include risk assessment

•Conclusions and recommendations

Scientific evidence

• Published scientific studies

• EU research projects and networks

• Knowledge about specific disease situation– Epidemiology– Surveillance– Available diagnostic methods and standards

8

Interacting with the research community

• DG Research always invited for meetings

• EU research projects and networks– Direct contact with experts– Access to unpublished scientific data– Input to priority research topics

• Networking with MS– AHAW scientific network for risk

assessment– EFSA-MS Information exchange

platform

Role of EFSA in contributing to the improvement of animal health in Europe

• Position paper adopted November 2008

– Sets out EFSA’s objectives to further reinforce EFSA’s integrated approach in the animal health area in the context of the EU Animal Health Strategy

10

11

Prioritisation of EU intervention(Pillar 1)

“The new Animal Health strategy must be seen as an integrated risk assessment and management strategy focusing on biological and chemical risks of EU relevance.”

• Prioritization of interventions should be based on sound science and appropriate risk assessment

• Risk assessments must be based on sound data– Need cooperation on data exchange between EFSA, EC, other

EU agencies, Member States and EU reference laboratories

12

Better prevention, surveillance and crisis preparedness (Pillar 3)

“Identifying problems before they take hold, and being ready to manage outbreaks and crises”

• Farm biosecurity– Guidelines taking into account the level of risk associated with

different types of production systems and species

• Surveillance– To encourage collaborative networks of interested parties,

especially through ECDC and EFSA to improve data collection, risk analysis and information to the public

• Emergency response– Support rapid response networks and crisis management

13

Science, Innovation and Research (Pillar 4)

“To stimulate and coordinate risk analysis, science, innovation and research, hence contributing to a high level of public health and to the competitiveness of EU animal health businesses.”

• Identify “gaps” of scientific evidence and knowledge related to existing tools for surveillance, diagnosis, vaccination and treatment.

• Develop risk assessment methodologies for animal health and welfare

• Develop effective collaboration on data exchange in order to decrease time needed for delivery of scientific advice

• Provide recommendations for future research programs

Fulfilling EFSA objectives of the animal health strategy

Goals:

1. To deliver the best scientific advice at the right time and in the most appropriate manner for risk managers

2. To decrease the time needed for risk assessment and scientific advice on animal health and welfare by enabling the rapid access to and use of already collected data by data exchange between EFSA and the EC

3. To provide scientific support for EU surveillance programmes foranimal diseases, zoonoses and animal welfare as well as analysing the results of surveillance

4. To provide scientific support for EU crisis preparedness5. To avoid unnecessary divergence in opinions between EFSA and

MS competent authorities or other relevant EU institutions6. To mobilise and coordinate scientific expertise throughout the EU

on issues within the remit of EFSA

Unprecedented movement of commodities and people are used by pathogens to colonize the entire planet

2010 forecast: 2.3 billion passengers and 40.3Mt of air freight

8 billion tons of worldwide international ocean-borne cargo in 2007 (in 2010 USDT Report)

Globalisation

5

Globalisation

Nowadays pathogens are transported around the world faster than the average incubation time of most epizootics

Climate changes and human behaviour allow colonisation of new territories by vectors and pathogens (e.g. bluetongue in Europe)

6

The growing importance of the zoonotic potential of animal pathogens

‣ 60% of human pathogens are zoonotic

‣ 75% of emerging diseases are zoonotic

‣ 80% of agents with potential bioterrorist use are zoonotic pathogens

7

Some projections towards 2050 indicate that the demand for animal proteins, in particular

milk and eggs, will increase by more than 50% (+ 200Mt), especially in developing

countries

Trends in animal protein consumption

8

Trends in animal protein consumption

Shift from poverty to middle-class(+1 billion people expected)

Increase in the number of daily meals

More milk, eggs and meat in meals

It is probably impossible to avoid the intensification of animal production worldwide

9

Which concepts to promote in order to protect countries and regions from emerging and re-emerging diseases

‣ The Global Public Good concept

‣ The « One world, One health » concept

‣ The Good Governance of Veterinary Services

10

Global public goods are goods whose benefits extend to all

countries, people and generations

The Global Public Good Concept

11

‣ In relation to the control and eradication of infectious diseases, the benefits are international and inter-generational in scope

‣ Countries depend on each other

‣ Animal health systems are not commercial nor strictly agricultural goods. They are fully eligible for national and global public resources

Failure of one country may endanger the entire planet

The Global Public Good Concept

12

‣ The role and responsibilities of the OIE correspond to a Global Public Good whose benefits extend to all countries, people and generations, incl. major food companies that operate across the global food supply chain

‣ Sanitary crises, causing considerable economic losses, may be prevented by appropriate implementation of OIE standards on good governance by all those concerned

The OIE vision

13

‣ Effective implementation however, cannot take place without:• the political will of both rich and poor countries.

Considering the strong, global influence and lobbying capacity of certain major food companies, their role can be instrumental in both advocating and promoting the implementation of such good governance standards;

• providing or advocating effective financial and technical support to those who are not in a position to apply such international standards due to a lack of financial and human resources

The OIE vision

managing risks at the human-animal interface

Oct. 2008

The One World One Health Concept (OWOH)

16

Food security

‣ Food shortages are also a public health problem, just like food safety

‣ Impact of animal diseases on animal production/losses of animal products (~20% worldwide)

‣ Protection of goods (productive livestock = capital)

‣ Market Access: local, regional and international

‣ Poverty alleviation (1 billion poor livestock producers)

‣ Environmental cost/benefit studies are to be completed: milk versus meat, traction, ploughing, fertilisation, natural pastoral resources …

17

The public and private componentsof Veterinary Services are in the front

line regarding these matters in all countries of the world

18

A stronger collaboration between WHO, FAO and OIE

Sharing responsibilities and coordinating global activities to address health risks at the animal-human-ecosystems interfaces

19

OIE Studies

I. Economic analysis – Prevention versus outbreak costs

II. Feasibility study – A global fund for emergency response in developing countries

III. Pre-feasibility study – Supporting insurance of disease losses

IV. Cost of national prevention systems for animal diseases and zoonoses in developing and transition countries

V. Listing and Categorisation of priority animal diseases, including those transmissible to humans

A Private Sector Perspective on Private Standards

“Collective efforts are needed on the part of food system stakeholders, governments and intergovernmental organizations to ensure food safety, animal health, animal welfare and plant health as these aspects of food production are critical to consumer confidence, affordability and food security. The food industry recognizes the critical importance of the work undertaken by the OIE, CAC and IPPC and has started to take steps which better align private certification schemes with public standards. The scientific evidence-based nature of the official public standards, the transparent process of their development and consensus based mechanism for their adoption are respected by the food industry.”

(Concluding remark - M. Robach - 78th OIE SG/9) 24

Good Governance of Veterinary Services: the PVS Pathway

32

Requirements for all countries

Need for adequate legislation and its efficient implementation through appropriate human, technical and financial resources allowing national animal health systems to provide for:

• Appropriate surveillance, early detection, transparency• Rapid response to animal disease outbreaks• Biosecurity measures• Compensation• Vaccination when appropriate

Deregulation can be source of biological disasters

Good Governance of Veterinary Services

33

‣ Livestock owners are the first to know

‣ Close cooperation with Veterinary Services
