The EC has just introduced the Trade Control and Expert System (TRACES), a new central database to track the movements of animals both from outside and within the EU. TRACES aims to consolidate and simplify existing systems and create better tools for managing animal disease outbreaks. The database will facilitate tracking the 50 000 animals transported in the EU each day.
