Decree No. 148 of 2007 (XII.8.) FVM of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development on the application and payment method of support for the prevention of and fight against certain animal diseases.

This Decree regulates the application and disbursement procedures for financial subsidies targeted at preventing, monitoring, and eradicating specific animal diseases and zoonoses. It also establishes the rules governing eligible veterinary interventions, sample collections, diagnostic tests, and treatments.
The provisions identify the specific responsibilities and qualifications required of livestock keepers, veterinary service providers, and administrative laboratories involved in state-approved health programs. Eligible beneficiaries encompass natural and legal persons managing small- or large-scale livestock holdings, aquaculture enterprises, and slaughterhouses. Financial support is structured as non-repayable grants distributed under defined terms to offset the direct operational costs of mandatory screening, immunization, and diagnostic monitoring.
Procedurally, the Decree dictates strict timelines and documentation requirements for processing monthly application claims through designated state channels. It details the administrative roles of the Hungarian State Treasury and the National Food Chain Safety Office (NÉBIH) in managing verification, data management, and the execution of payments. Subsidies are explicitly conditioned upon compliance with designated veterinary standards, ensuring that funding directly supports domestic animal health management and public safety controls.
