about this blogRead moreAs a result of leaving the EU, the government has announced an inquiry which scrutinises the impact of the new agreement and relationship with the EU regarding how animals can be moved across borders.
As well as live animal exports, the inquiry also focuses on equines (horses, ponies and donkeys) and domestic animals and may therefore affect many Countryside Alliance members.
The changes to the requirements for pets travelling between Great Britain and the EU or Northern Ireland are that GB-issued pet passports are no longer valid for travel. Furthermore, from July, new border controls will be put in place by the UK, requiring imported horses entering Great Britain to go through a Border Control Post.
The inquiry covers impacts on animal health including disease outbreak, economic interests, the capacity of the UK to adapt to new regulations, and the illegal movements of animals across borders.
The Committee is seeking written submissions, by 17 March, on any, or all of the following questions:
Live animal exports:
Domestic animals:
Equines:
The Countryside Alliance will be submitting evidence to the inquiry however, the committee welcomes submissions from anyone with answers to the questions in the call for evidence.
You can submit evidence until Wednesday 17th March 2021 by clicking here.
