Save Pigeon Racing - Seek to reinstate racing from Europe
- Final Signatures: 2,252
During Brexit negotiations, it would seem that this approval has been overlooked. My plea is for the Secretary of State for Defra to negotiate special dispensation from the EU to accept pigeons as a temporary import, in order for Pigeon Racing to continue from France/EU and support our communities.
Found: years we have enjoyed unfettered access by our friends and neighbours in France for our convoys of Racing

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions he has had with the EU Commission and the French Government on the cross-Channel movement of racing pigeons between the UK and EU member states.
Answered by Victoria Prentis
Now that the transition period has come to an end, Great Britain is treated as a third country by the EU and vice versa. The EU has different requirements for animals entering the EU from third countries than for those moving between Member States, including the requirement for the animals to be accompanied by a health certificate and/or quarantine periods where appropriate. The European Commission has recently stated its intention to allow movements of racing pigeons (for racing purposes) from GB to continue to enter the EU (and Northern Ireland) until 20 October under national rules applicable prior to 21 April 2021. After this period, these movements must meet the new requirements set out in the EU Animal Health Regulation and be accompanied by the appropriate EU Export Health Certificate.
We continue to encourage the EU, through our regular engagement, to act pragmatically as part of our new trading relationship.
