Project description	The aim of the TAIEX workshop was to inform and discuss various topics in the framework of the EU Zootechnical legislation for approximation of these provisions into the Albanian law. Several examples on the organisation of animal breeding in member states were given to demonstrate the several strategies on the application of the legislation under different conditions in the member states. The workshop focussed particularly on animal breeding and was intended to help Albania in preparing its own regulation on herd book breeding.
