    Following a request from the European Free Trade Association （EFTA） Surveillance Authority, the European Food Safety Authority （EFSA） was asked to provide scientific and technical assistance on a revision of the Norwegian annual monitoring programme for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy （BSE）。

    The current Norwegian monitoring programme for BSE is based on a specific adaptation of the Agreement on the European Economic Area （EEA） to Regulation （EC） No 999/2001, allowing Norway to test a random sample of 10,000 healthy slaughtered cattle over 30 months of age per year. The Norwegian legislation is currently in line with the European Union's （EU）5 one as regards to the feedban. However, the use of fishmeal for ruminants was legally allowed in Norway until 30 April 2010.

    Within this context, and taking into consideration the animal age limits set in Commission Decision 2009/719/EC （72 and 48 months of age, respectively, for healthy slaughtered and at risk animals）， Norway requested to the EFTA Surveillance Authority the agreement for a revised annual monitoring programme for BSE prescribing i） the testing of a random sample of 2,000 healthy slaughtered cattle over 72 months of age per year, ii） the testing of all at-risk cattle above 48 months of age and iii） the mandatory notification and examination of any animal clinically suspected of being infected by a TSE.
