| Directed to Parties |
| 14.58 |
With regard to transport of live
animals by means other than air, Parties should consider the Guidelines
for the Transport of Animals by Sea of the World Organisation for Animal
Health (OIE) and the OIE Guidelines for the Transport of Animals by Land
published in the Terrestrial Animal Health Code in instances when
the Live Animals Regulations of the International Air Transport Association
are inappropriate, and to avoid potential problems with new, duplicate or
overlapping regulations (national, regional or international). |
