Tuesday 10th November 2020
Asked by:
Jonathan Edwards (Independent - Carmarthen East and Dinefwr)
Question
to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, what discussions he has had with the EU on ensuring the continuation of seamless pet travel following the transition period.
Answered by Penny Mordaunt
Guidance on pet travel is set out on gov.uk.
Any changes to this guideline is dependent on the category that is given to Great Britain at the end of the Transition Period, with this being conditional on the ongoing discussions being had with the EU Commission.
DEFRA has submitted an application to the European Commission to become a ‘Part I’ listed third country in relation to the non-commercial movement of pet dogs, cats and ferrets into the EU, which the Commission is considering.
Discussions with the European Commission are ongoing. Updates will be announced in the usual way.
