title: [BSE--present and future legal requirements].
abstract: After BSE had first been recorded in November 2000 in a bovine animal born in Germany, national measures had immediately been taken and a great number of decisions taken at Community level resulting in substantial risk minimization. On 1 July 2001, Regulation No. 999/2001/EC came into force compiling all protection measures against BSE under Community law, including supplementary transitional measures. On the basis of the current legal situation, the evolving further development of key protection measures is described in the following.
