L 138/12 Official Journal of the European Union 28.5.2008 (Acts adopted under the EC Treaty/Euratom Treaty whose publication is not obligatory) DECISIONS COMMISSION COMMISSION DECISION of 30 April 2008 implementing Council Directive 2006/88/EC as regards an Internet-based information page to make information on aquaculture production businesses and authorised processing establishments available by electronic means (notified under document number C(2008) 1656) (Text with EEA relevance) (2008/392/EC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Directive 2006/88/EC of 24 October 2006 on animal health requirements for aquaculture animals and products thereof, and on the prevention and control of certain diseases in aquatic animals (1), and in particular Article 59(2) thereof, Whereas: Directive 2006/88/EC lays down health requirements to be applied for the placing on the market, the importation and the transit of aquaculture animals and products thereof, and minimum preventive measures aimed at increasing the awareness and preparedness of the competent authorities, aquaculture production business operators and others related to this industry, for diseases in aquaculture animals. In order to improve the prevention of the occurrence and spread of the diseases listed in Annex IV to Directive 2006/88/EC, information on aquaculture production businesses and authorised processing establishments, () O] L 328, 24.11.2006, p. 14. ) especially on species kept and their health status, should be made electronically available by the Member States. The data are currently publicly available in the registers kept by Member States pursuant to Article 6 of Directive 2006/88/EC. In order to facilitate the interoperability of information systems and the use of procedures by electronic means between Member States, and to ensure transparency and comprehensibility, it is important that the information on aquaculture production businesses and authorised processing establishments is presented in a uniform way throughout the Community. An Internet-based information page is technically the most feasible solution, as it ensures easy access to such information and does not involve too many resources. A model for the layout of the Internet-based information page should therefore be drawn up. Annex II to Directive 2006/88/EC establishes the infor- mation required in the register of aquaculture production businesses and authorised processing establishments. As the aim of the Internet-based information page is to facilitate the interoperability of the relevant information recorded in the registers of aquaculture production busi- nesses established by Member States, the website does not necessarily have to include all that information. It should however include all the information which is relevant to detect any trade restrictions caused by different health status.
