Movement control inside countries/territories and precautions at borders – Executive summary

Observatory Annual Report 2022 | Executive summary

The movement of animals and animal products is a major contributor to the spread of animal diseases. The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE) develops international standards for movement management, including quarantine and border security measures. These are crucial to control the spread of diseases within a territory and across borders. Through its Annual Report, the Observatory intends to assess the uptake of these standards.
