A review of the current experimental situation will be given with emphasis on recent results obtained at CERN. The speaker will argue that the availability of high energy kaon beams at CERN allows one to make incisive tests of the Standard Model. In particular the NA48 Collaboration has studied the possibility to measure the reaction K+-->pi+ nu nubar leading to a ~10% precision on the knowledge of the |Vtd| CKM parameter. Prospects to study of the CP-Vioating decays KL--> pi0 e+e- (mu+mu-) and KL--> pi0 nu nubar will also be briefly described.
