Order No. 671, dated 19.10.2022 "On the approval of the regulation 'On the registration and approval of establishments that keep terrestrial animals and collect, produce, process or store germinal products'".

This Order establishes technical and administrative requirements for registering and approving establishments that keep terrestrial animals or handle germinal products.
Facility operators must submit specific administrative and spatial data to the competent authorities prior to commencing operations. Required submission details include the physical address, exact geographic coordinates, and operational schedules for non-continuous or seasonal activities. Similar information criteria apply to operators seeking formal approval for establishments collecting, producing, processing, or storing germinal material such as semen, oocytes, and embryos.
The Regulation defines specific criteria under which competent authorities may exempt low-risk terrestrial animal holdings from mandatory registration. Exemptions apply strictly to establishments that do not keep ungulates, dogs, cats, or ferrets for breeding purposes, provided the facility conducts no domestic or international movements of animals, germinal products, or animal-derived products. Official control authorities retain the right to impose additional regional or numerical limits on exempted holdings.
Institutional implementation is assigned to the General Directorate of Development in Food Safety, Veterinary, Plant Protection and Fisheries, the National Veterinary and Plant Protection Authority, and the National Food Authority. These bodies oversee compliance, manage register databases, and enforce biosecurity controls across domestic livestock operations.
