Regulatory frameworks for control of HPAI and other TADs

Abstract

The review of regulatory frameworks (policy and institutional) for animal health is a critical but often neglected area. This handbook draws on the veterinary experience of Dr Ian Robertson (a consultant to FAO who is funded by the Asian Development Bank), and the legal expertise of Ambra Gobena and Carmen Bullon (Legal Service Officers, FAO) to facilitate an understanding of the structure and elements of veterinary policy and legislation, the international frame of reference, the interface between veterinary policy, institutions and legislation, and the potential impa cts of the national legal tradition on the way that laws are drafted
