1. The survey programme for TSE resistant PrP genes in goats presented by Cyprus is hereby approved for a period of 24 months starting from 1 January 2006.
2. The financial assistance from the Community for the programme referred to in paragraph 1 covers the costs (VAT excluded) incurred by Cyprus for laboratory testing up to 100 % in accordance with Chapter 1 of the Annex for the year 2006 and Chapter 3 for the year 2007. The total assistance shall be a maximum amount of EUR 47 500 for the year 2006 and EUR 103 000 for the year 2007.

(a) bringing into force by 1 January 2006 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions for implementing the survey;
(b) forwarding an intermediate yearly financial and technical evaluation covering the first eight months of each year of the survey, at the latest two months after the end of that period; the report shall conform to the model as set out in Chapter 2 of the Annex for the year 2006 and Chapter 4 thereof for the year 2007, accompanied by justifying evidence as to the costs incurred;

(d) these reports providing substantive and valuable technical and scientific information corresponding to the purpose of the Community intervention;
(e) implementing the programme effectively.
2. When the time limit provided for in paragraph 1c) are not respected, the financial contribution shall be reduced by 25 % on 1 May, 50 % on 1 June, 75 % on 1 July and 100 % on 1 September of the calendar year following the survey year concerned.
