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

(48) Member States, and in particular their competent authorities responsible for animal health, are amongst the key actors in the prevention and control of transmissible animal diseases. The competent authority for animal health plays an important role in relation to surveillance, eradication, disease control measures, contingency planning and raising disease awareness, in the facilitation of animal movements, and in international trade by the issuing of animal health certificates. In order to be able to perform their duties under this Regulation, Member States depend on having access to adequate financial, infrastructural and personnel resources throughout their territories, including laboratory capacity and scientific and other relevant know–how.
