c. Progress report on EUFMD/EC support to FMD control

Item 9 - Other items as proposed by Secretariat, President or Observers None were raised.

Closing of the Session The Chairman thanked the members for their contribution to the discussions, and recorded his appreciation for the support provided by DG-SANCO which enabled a close and active collaboration in disease control in south-east Turkey and elsewhere. He thanked the OIE for their support which had ensured a joint action in the southern Balkans and in the Caucasus in 2006. He also mentioned the support of the French Government which enabled the Commission to get much better insight into the FMD situation in Iran. The Secretariat were thanked for the efficient organisation of the meeting; the work conducted at the 74th Session, which should lead to an exciting and important meeting of the General Session in April.
