Spanish term

para uso exclusivo nacional

Spanish to English Other Livestock / Animal Husbandry Goat breeding
En el reglamento CE 21/2004 de identificación y registro de ovinos y caprinos, se autoriza la identificación del caprino con brazaletes (en la cuartilla) ***para uso exclusivo nacional***.

I am unsure as to how to interpret this. It doesn't mean that the bands are the only method of identification that is allowed as the report is about other methods. I'd appreciate your comments.

This is a research article about methods of livestock identification in Spain.

Thanks!

thanks
agree Paul Merriam : Your context should make it clear whether they're referring to the animals or the bracelets. I imagine the animals, although the passage could be parsed as referring to the bracelets.

but only for use inside the country

My understanding is that the ID is valid and allowable, but it is only recognized inside the country. That doesn't preclude other forms of ID from being used inside the country, or even other forms of ID from being valid only inside the country.
In other words:

Scenario A: ID is valid both at home and abroad.
Scenario B: ID valid/allowed only at home.
Either of these scenarios could apply to several different ID types.

Does this make sense?
