#AGRG2609806AFrance updates state aid and disease-control payments for bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This order updates how the French state pays for cattle tuberculosis and brucellosis control. It raises or adjusts several compensation amounts, changes how payments are calculated for dairy farms, and adds coverage for cleaning, disinfection, euthanasia, and related veterinary work when infected animals cannot go to slaughter. It mainly affects cattle farmers, veterinarians working under prefectural orders, and farms in the listed departments. Some high-value animals, including breeding cattle and animals used in bull spectacles, can now qualify for special valuation, but the farmer must pay for the expert appraisal in those cases. Payments can also be reduced if the beneficiary has not followed the animal-health rules.

Obligations
What this law requires
Prefects may double the indemnity for dairy farms to reflect organic farming specifics and partial depopulation, and may reduce participations financières and indemnities if beneficiaries have breached the applicable brucellosis or tuberculosis sanitary rules or related prefectural orders.

When a bovine cannot be taken to the slaughterhouse, the prefect-appointed sanitary veterinarian must carry out a visit to the holding and perform euthanasia, with compensation set at 4 AMV per half-hour started of the visit and 1 AMV per animal euthanized.
Les opérations de nettoyage et de désinfection effectuées conformément aux arrêtés sanitaires applicables sont prises en charge par l’État uniquement sur présentation de factures acquittées ou d’un relevé justificatif des sommes acquittées.
