Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (‘Animal Health Law’) (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(121) For scientific purposes, such as research or diagnostic purposes, and in particular for those authorised in accordance with Directive 2010/63/EU, it may be necessary to move animals which do not fulfil the general animal health requirements laid down in this Regulation and which represent a higher animal health risk. Those kinds of movements should not be prohibited or unduly restricted by this Regulation, as this could impede otherwise authorised research activities and delay scientific progress. None the less, it is essential that rules be laid down in this Regulation to ensure that movements of those animals take place in a safe manner.
