This regulation updates the primary Turkish legislation governing the import and transit of live cloven-hoofed animals (such as cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs) by making several nomenclature and institutional updates. The Ministry name is changed from 'Gıda, Tarım ve Hayvancılık' to 'Tarım ve Orman' throughout the text. The international animal health organisation is updated from its former acronym OIE to the current WOAH (World Organisation for Animal Health). One table in Annex-2 is revised, though the specific new content of the table is not provided in the amending text. The regulation enters into force on its date of publication.
