The Second Observatory Monitoring Report: Movement control inside countries/territories and precautions at borders

23/05/2025

Managing the movement of animals and animal products is supported by animal identification and traceability systems at national level, as defined by international standards set by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), which has also developed standards for quarantine and border security measures. These subsets of
standards are crucial to control the spread of diseases within a territory and across borders, while facilitating production and trade. The Observatory assessed the uptake of these standards by WOAH Members.
