(93/28/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 90/425/EEC of 26 June 1990 concerning veterinary and zootechnical checks applicable in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products with a view to the completion of the internal market (1), as last amended by Directive 92/65/EEC (2), and in particular Article 20 (2),

Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990, on expenditure in the veterinary field (3), as last amended by Decision 92/438/EEC (4), and in particular Article 37 a thereof,

Whereas in Decision 91/426/EEC (5), adopted on 22 July 1991, the Commission laid down the details of the Community's financial contribution to the setting up of a computerized network linking veterinary authorities (Animo);
