The bovine register comprises: a) ear marks intended for identifying the animals (art. 3); b) animals' passports (art. 4); c) registers to be kept by enterprises (art. 5); d) a computerized database (art. 6).

Further provisions regulate the duties and powers entrusted to the veterinary services under the Local Health Authorities (art. 10), the Regions and Autonomous Provinces (art. 11) as well as the Ministry of Health (art. 12).
