New Animal Health Law: Obligations, Compensation, and Disease Control
This act comprehensively regulates animal health protection, replacing previous legislation. It introduces new obligations for animal owners, breeders, and veterinarians regarding the prevention and control of infectious diseases. It specifies the rules for granting compensation for animals culled by order of the Veterinary Inspectorate and penalties for non-compliance with the new rules.
Key points
Mandatory rabies vaccination for dogs: Every dog over 3 months old must be vaccinated, and the vaccination must be repeated every 12 months. Failure to vaccinate is punishable by a fine.
Compensation for animals: For farm animals (e.g., cattle, pigs, poultry) culled by official order during disease control, compensation from the state budget is provided at market value.
New financial penalties: A wide range of financial penalties has been introduced for violations, such as failure to report a suspected disease, failure to keep records, or non-compliance with orders and bans during an epidemic. Fines can range from a fraction to up to 12.9 times the average salary.
Rapid disease response: Animal owners and veterinarians are obliged to immediately report any suspected disease. Authorities can quickly impose orders, bans, and restrictions, including sanitary shooting of wild animals.
Registration and supervision of activities: All entities dealing with animals, animal products, and by-products must be registered or approved by the Veterinary Inspectorate.
