Luanda — The Cabinet Council Wednesday here approved the animal health law under the guidance of the Head of State, José Eduardo dos Santos.
According to the director general of the Institute of Veterinary Services, Felipe Vicesse this regulation will control the taking of measures relating to the applying of fines and transgressions in importing live animals, and other irregularities.
Felipe Vicesse reminded that there are various emerging diseases that might hinder the re-launch of the cattle-raising activity in Angola.
