"Horses must be identified by July 1, 2008 and all horses need to have passports until that date," Bartha said.
He added that some 400,000 horses have been identified so far, namely 40% of the total.  Identification entails the planting of a chip.
"For the issuing of passports, information from the chip is read and transcribed into the document. Horses can travel freely throughout the country, but cannot travel to other European countries without a passport," Bartha said.
