Austria: Cooperation in food/livestock controls

Article Abstract:

The areas of food and veterinary services are officially governed by regional governments in Austria, but are increasingly managed as cooperative projects between regional and national tiers of government. A recent attempt by Health Minister Herbert Haupt to influence animal drug laws at a regional level failed, due to large resistance from the regional level. Although formal recognition of competence seems impossible to achieve, there are examples of good cooperation. An inspection of farms in Waldviertel, which had been hit by BSE, was carried out by a combined operation of both tiers of government.
