Kalinin, G.I. On the issue of organization of fight against terrorism and biological security guarantees in the veterinary sphere.

Abstract: In last two decades the Russian Federation faced the problem of fighting terrorist threat in its various dimensions. The Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision supervises physical protection of the sources of especially dangerous organisms. However, there are problems with practical implementation in this sphere. Territorial Divisions of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision have to solve this problem independently and develop the method for supervision over the said objects. Control and supervision once every three years over dangerous objects, which may be attacked by terrorists, is obviously not sufficient. It is also not clear what should be understood as especially dangerous organisms. Use of sanitary regulations in such cases is not altogether correct. The veterinary legislation has no definition of physical protection and no criteria for its application to the objects of veterinarian supervision. There is need for clear procedural regulation of this type of supervision.
