Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade) on 26 October (HC35954), whether any EU veterinary authorities or regulators currently recognise UK veterinary qualifications.

The recognition of UK veterinary qualifications in the EU varies between member states and depends on the specific requirements of each competent authority. For example, UK veterinary qualifications are recognised in Ireland under a mutual recognition agreement between the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and the Veterinary Council of Ireland.

The Federation of Veterinarians Europe provides information on EU regulators and professional associations for veterinarians, where UK veterinary professionals can check which EU veterinary regulators recognise their qualifications.
