rec_165

(165) This Regulation lays down general and specific rules for the prevention and control of transmissible animal diseases and ensures a harmonised approach to animal health across the Union. In some areas, such as general responsibilities for animal health, notification, surveillance, registration and approval or traceability, the Member States should be allowed or encouraged to apply additional or more stringent national measures. However, such national measures should be permitted only if they do not compromise the animal health objectives set out in this Regulation and are not inconsistent with the rules laid down herein, and provided that they do not hinder movements of animals and products between Member States, unless this is necessary in order to prevent the introduction, or to control the spread, of disease.
