Contract description
The contract aims to achieve the strengthening of the veterinary service of Montenegro by the reform of the
regulatory framework through harmonisation of its veterinary laws with EU legislation and by a parallel reform of the
system and practices by which the legislation is implemented, bringing that process equally into line with procedures in MSs.
These twin objectives of the contract are to be achieved by a series of closely interlinked project outputs:
-The harmonisation, by a strategically designed and prioritised process, of the national legislation
relating to animal health and welfare, the identification and registration of animals, control of the importation
of animals and products of animal origin and control of the importation, manufacture, sale and use of veterinary medicinal products;
-The preparation and distribution to staff of procedures and manuals to give guidance on the implementation of the newly introduced
administrative and technical measures;
-The expansion of the animal identification and registration system to include other species and of the veterinary information system
to augment its capacity for the handling of epidemiological data;
-The elaboration and delivery of a programme of staff training in order to provide competence in the implementation of harmonised
measures
-The design and implementation of a series of awareness activities aimed at improving compliance with the new measures by informing
stakeholders at all levels about the nature of the changes, the benefits to them of the reforms and their responsibilities.
-The contract will, in addition to strengthening the veterinary service, help to bring Montenegro closer to compliance with the full acquis
and to EU accession.
-It will be crucially important, during the 18 month implementation of the contract, to bear in mind the need for continuity
of the work after the contract ends.
