<p><strong>i) Ungulates, Equines and commercial movement of cats, dogs and ferrets</strong></p><p>
</p><p>The United Kingdom submitted its application to allow exports of live animals
and animal products to the European Commission in January 2019.</p><p> </p><p>The
UK continues to undertake constructive engagement with the European Commission on
third country listing, and has already provided the necessary assurances requested
by the European Commission in order for the relevant Committee to consider listing
the UK as a third country for exports of live animals and animal products. This would
ensure that exports of ungulates (hoofed animals), equines and commercial movement
of cats, dogs and ferrets to the EU would continue in a no deal.</p><p> </p><p>The
relevant Committee meeting to vote on our listed status is expected to be scheduled
and meet ahead of exit date.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>ii) Non-commercial movement
of cats, dogs and ferrets</strong></p><p> </p><p>Non-commercial movement of cats,
dogs and ferrets is covered by the EU Pet Travel Scheme which has 3 categorisations
of third country: unlisted, Part 1 listed and Part 2 listed.</p><p> </p><p>Third countries
can apply to the European Commission to be listed under the EU Pet Travel Scheme.
The United Kingdom submitted its application to allow the UK to become a Part 1 listed
third country under Annex II of the EU Pet Travel Regulations to the European Commission
in January 2019. It is for the Commission to consider our application for listed status.
The UK is likely to be treated as an unlisted country under the EU Pet Travel Scheme
if it leaves without a deal.</p>
