Description of the Animal Insurance situation in Europe Europe provides its population and the farming sector with a sophisticated framework of prevention and protection measures for animal diseases. This publication deals mainly with this aspect of the livestock insurance sector in Europe. The European Union regulates the principles which are implemented on a national level. Different bodies are responsible for this process. Generally, there is a private – public partnership approach in many countries where the state deals with the contagious diseases, the prevention and the eradication as well as related costs. The private sector deals with supplementary cover as, for example, business interruption following a disease event. Although the insurance system covers the farmer for losses not covered by public funds, the penetration rates are relatively low and no substantial growth can be observed over the last few years.

Development and Perspectives of Multiple Risk Insurance in Italy Multiple risk insurance in Italy is barely old enough to go to school, having celebrated its sixth birthday this year. Compared with the ripe old age of the hail policy, its older sister, we could expect it to be barely able to walk alone and say a few words.

Agricultural Insurance in Sudan Up to 1983 all insurance companies working in the Sudan were practising traditional (commercial) insurance. In September 1983 Sharia laws were decreed and all institutions and companies were given a while to reinstitute their conditions to meet Islamic requirements. In 1990 all non-Islamic institutions were outlawed, and Sharia prevailed in all aspects of life. The High Sharia Monitoring Board divided insurance activities into takaful, when the subject of hazards is the human life or his health, and into Insurance for all other cover, such as agricultural insurance, car insurance, etc. At present there are 13 Sudanese Islamic Insurance Companies, in addition to a national Reinsurance Company and two regional African Reinsurance Companies.
