2010 ilerleme raporu - Avrupa Birliği Bakanlığı

2006 and endorsed by the European Council on 14/15 December 2006. As long as restrictions
remain in place on the free movement of goods carried by vessels and aircraft registered in
Cyprus or whose last port of call was in Cyprus, Turkey will not be in a position to implement
fully the acquis relating to this chapter.
Conclusion
There has been limited progress towards alignment with the acquis. Agricultural support
policies showed only minor transition towards the CAP, following the significant divergent
trend reported in recent years. Initial steps have been taken for the development of an
integrated administration and control system. However, the failure to fully remove unjustified
technical barriers to trade in bovine products and the continued delays in the accreditation of
the structures to use the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance for Rural Development
represent significant shortcomings. Similarly, further progress is required on agricultural
statistics, the farm accountancy data network, quality policy and organic farming.
4.12. Chapter 12: Food safety, veterinary and phytosanitary policy
Substantial progress has been made towards transposition and implementation of the food
safety acquis. The Framework Law on veterinary services, plant health, food and feed has
been adopted. Turkey also prepared a detailed strategy for the transposition, implementation
and enforcement of the acquis.
In the area of veterinary policy, some progress was observed towards transposition and
implementation of the acquis. Legislative alignment in the area of import control systems is
still incomplete. Construction of three land and two seaport border inspection posts (BIPs) has
been completed, but they are not yet fully functioning. Problems in directing consignments
from Ataturk Airport to Sabiha Gokcen Airport remain unresolved and the BIP at Sabiha
Gokcen Airport in Istanbul is still not fully functional.
Turkey pursued efforts to bring the system for identification and registration of bovines and
their movements fully into line with the acquis. The system has been strengthened to allow an
effective cross-checking system with off and on movement notifications. The administrative
capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) has been improved
through information and training activities for staff and stakeholders. Implementation of
identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals has started across the whole
country. Implementation of systems for identification and registration of animals constitutes a
key element for the accession negotiations in this chapter. Turkey has made no progress as
regards control of commercial movements of pet animals.
Turkey’s efforts in the area of combating animal diseases have continued, with foot and
mouth disease (FMD) still being the main focus. However, the FMD contingency plan has not
yet been adopted and the regulation on the control of FMD has not entered into force.
Turkey’s intensive FMD vaccination programme accompanied by strict animal movement
measures between Thrace and Anatolia has been implemented. Nevertheless, the number of
FMD outbreaks has increased substantially in Anatolia. Thrace has been recognised by the
World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) as FMD-free with vaccination. The regulation
concerning the control of rabies has not yet entered into force. No avian influenza outbreaks
occurred in the reporting period and MARA continued implementing awareness campaigns
and simulation exercises. Turkey made no progress as regards transmissible spongiform
encephalopathy (TSE). Timely notification of animal diseases by Turkey has continued under
