The Live Animal Regulations are enforced by the European Union, the US Fish and Wildlife Service and generally meet or exceed the intent of the US Animal Welfare Act (AWA). The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) also officially recognise these regulations for the transport of animals by air.
Produced annually in English, French and Spanish. For increased convenience and ease of use, all LAR versions are available on CD ROM, with enhanced navigation, sorting and search features, a special report feature, the most recent CITES appendences as well as useful forms and links.
