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

(129) Notification of movements of animals and germinal products between Member States, and in some cases within the national territories of Member States, is essential in order to ensure the traceability of the animals and germinal products concerned, where these movements may be linked to a risk of spreading transmissible animal diseases. Such movements should therefore be notified and registered by means of an integrated computerised veterinary system (‘Traces’). The Traces system integrates into a single architecture the computerised systems provided for in Article 20 of Directive 90/425/EEC and in Council Decision 92/438/EEC Council Decision 92/438/EEC of 13 July 1992 on computerization of veterinary import procedures (Shift project), amending Directives 90/675/EEC, 91/496/EEC, 91/628/EEC and Decision 90/424/EEC, and repealing Decision 88/192/EEC (OJ L 243, 25.8.1992, p. 27). respectively, based on Commission Decisions 2003/24/EC Commission Decision 2003/24/EC of 30 December 2002 concerning the development of an integrated computerised veterinary system (OJ L 8, 14.1.2003, p. 44). and 2004/292/EC Commission Decision 2004/292/EC of 30 March 2004 on the introduction of the Traces system and amending Decision 92/486/EEC (OJ L 94, 31.3.2004, p. 63). .
