Abstract
The essential items of the relevant EU legislation are described and their effects are discussed. A brief survey of the four most important legal regulations in the EU relevant for cattle transport is given from the point of view of administration. These regulations are: The Directive 91/628/EEC 1991 (protection of animals during transport), Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/97 (criteria for staging points and route plan), Council Regulation (EC) No 411/98 (additional standards for road vehicles for long distance transport), Commission Regulation (EC) No 615/98 (export refund regulations). Some critical points of the objectives are pointed out.
