9th Jul 2020
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many pets have (1) entered, or (2) re-entered, the UK under the PETS Travel Scheme since it was launched; and how many cases of rabies have been diagnosed in relation to the scheme.
The UK fully harmonised with the EU Pet Travel Scheme on 1 January 2012. Since that date (up to the end of 2019), there have been 1,960,766 pet movements into Great Britain under the scheme.
The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) does not record how many of these pets were re-entering Great Britain. APHA does not hold details of pet movements into Northern Ireland.
There have been no confirmed cases of rabies in dogs and other mammals since 2012.
9th Jul 2020
To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress they have made in arranging for a new system of pet travel requirements between the UK and the EU after 1 January 2021; and whether they intend to acquire status as a Part 1 listed country of the PETS Travel Scheme.
The Government is working with the European Commission to ensure that pet travel between the UK and EU continues smoothly after January 2021. The UK and Crown Dependencies submitted its application to become a Part 1 listed third country under Annex II of the EU Pet Travel Regulations to the European Commission, and this is our preferred position. It is now for the Commission to consider our application for listed status. The end of the Transition Period opens up new opportunities for managing our own pet travel arrangements, including ensuring that there are robust controls on disease and animal welfare.
