Objective
This coordination action will gather and share information relevant to the control of two of the most important OIEList A diseases - foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and classical swine fever (CSF), both of which have causeddevastating outbreaks of disease in Europe and continue to pose a serious threat to our livestock industries. Thenetwork of national reference laboratories (RL) for these diseases will be strengthened by creation of acoordination unit with the resources to establish a web-based central network resource, to invite partners andassociated partners to working groups, and to analyse the information obtained so that reports, manuals andrecommendations of significance for EC and international policy development and implementation can bedelivered. Currently the collaborative actions between FMD and CSF laboratories are heavily reliant on a handfulof individuals from RL, who attempt these activities on a poorly coordinated, and part-time basis.Development of consensus scientific opinion is constrained by the lack of network resources to adequatelyreview technical progress and implications for disease management, or to gain wider stakeholder acceptance orinvolvement in the scientific process. The coordination unit will delegate tasks to the many experts that exist innatioanal RL in Europe, and bring in expertise from outside Europe and from scientists with complementaryknowledge. It will facilitate processes for technical information exchange and review, using innovative virtual(online) consultation fora, and wider participation in scientific review. Other systematic improvements to science-policy dialogue should occur through involvement of EC, OIE and EUFMD/FAO on the steering group.Theproject will focus upon the coordination of research, global disease surveillance, risk analysis, vaccine reserves,diagnostics, laboratory preparedness, control policies including vaccination and wild boar issues, and will #
