* APHA’s data retention period for non-EU countries Export Health Certification is two years.
**Croatia became a member of the EU on 1 July 2013. No data is available for exports to Croatia in 2012 and from the 1 January to 30 June 2013 as this information is outside APHA’s data retention period.
This excludes data for Republic of Ireland.
The statistics provided for EU Member States show the number of live pigs exported from the United Kingdom in the years 2012 – 2017. TRACES (Trade Control and Expert System) is a European Commission system employed by EU member states to facilitate and record animal/animal product movements into and throughout the EU. This information was provided to APHA by the EU Commission’s DG Sante TRACES Helpdesk due to the unavailability of the TRACES reporting functions.
The statistics provided for non-EU countries, denoted by an asterisk, show the number of live pigs exported from Great Britain to non-EU countries. This information has been collated from APHA’s data records. APHA’s data retention period for Export Health Certification is two years, so the information displayed above is for the years 2016 and 2017 only.
