The article outlines the regulations and guidelines for the intra-EU movement of bovine animals, as mandated by the European Parliament's Animal Health Act and related regulations. These rules aim to prevent the spread of animal diseases and include requirements for facility registration, direct transport of animals, and specific health certificates for breeding and cutting. Member States may achieve disease-free status to facilitate trade, and operators must ensure that animals meet all transport requirements and that non-discriminatory spot checks are conducted en route and at the destination.
