The EU Animal Health Law • The main instrument to implement the objectives of the
Animal Health Strategy (2007-2013) • Aims at a more risk based, proactive, preventive behaviour
• Provides for a single and robust legal framework
• Achieves simplification of existing rules:
• Numerically (from legislation of ca. 40 major pieces of legislation - Directives and Regulations)
• In substance (real simplification)
No revolution, but evolution

Health and Consumers
What is in the Animal Health Proposal?
• Transmissible animal diseases in: • Kept and wild animals (not only production animals) and their
products • Terrestrial, aquatic and other categories of animals
• Animal health rules for: • Disease prevention (disease awareness, biosecurity surveillance,
traceability,) • Disease control and eradication • Intra-EU movements and entry into the EU of animals and animal
products • Emergency measures
• Supplementing rules needed to ensure complete implementation • Detailed provisions of the current Directives and Regulations
included in delegated and implementing acts

Animal Health Law:
![Page 12: The new EU Regulation on Animal Health (Animal ... - usaha.org · Health and Consumers The new EU Regulation on Animal Health (Animal Health Law) USAHA/AAVLD Committee on International](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041201/5d48425488c99349508bca7a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Health and Consumers
New elements in the proposal (1) • An explicit scope:
• Transmissible diseases • Kept and wild animals (not only production animals) and their
products • Terrestrial, aquatic and other animals
• Explicit objectives: • Better response to new threats and adjustment to local circumstances • Reduce administrative burdens/costs, where involved risks permit so
• Clear responsibilities of keepers, operators, veterinarians, competent authorities, etc.
• Risk based approach: Categorization/prioritisation of diseases for EU intervention
• Improved response to emerging diseases
![Page 13: The new EU Regulation on Animal Health (Animal ... - usaha.org · Health and Consumers The new EU Regulation on Animal Health (Animal Health Law) USAHA/AAVLD Committee on International](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041201/5d48425488c99349508bca7a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Health and Consumers
• More prevention: • Biosecurity at farms, in transport, assembly points, at
borders • Enhanced surveillance (animal health visit), disease
notification and reporting • Clearer policy framework for the use of vaccines
• Easier but safe trade: • Enhanced convergence with international standards
on animal health (OIE) • Basis for compartmentalisation • Requirements for export
New elements in the proposal (2)
![Page 14: The new EU Regulation on Animal Health (Animal ... - usaha.org · Health and Consumers The new EU Regulation on Animal Health (Animal Health Law) USAHA/AAVLD Committee on International](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041201/5d48425488c99349508bca7a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Health and Consumers
• More flexibility to adjust to: • Climate changes and emerging risks • International standards and scientific developments • Different sizes and types of establishments, types of animal
production • Local circumstances (registration, approval, etc.) • Systems providing equal guarantees (for animal movements,
traceability, etc.)

Health and Consumers
Union intervention for transmissible animal diseases
• Disease listing and categorization:
• listing of diseases requiring EU intervention (Study with OIE on a the disease categorisation and prioritisation tool)
• which measures to be applied for which diseases
• Clusters of rules [boxes] for listed diseases (categories of diseases, not exhaustive!) • Diseases for immediate eradication, surveillance (FMD) • Diseases eradication & disease freedom with measures in
"trade" and movements (Bru) • Diseases with voluntary control eradication and additional
guarantees for trade (Auj) • Disease with general monitoring control measures (BVD)
• Response to emerging diseases
