<p>The construction and management of live animal Border Control Posts (BCPs) in the
EU are commercial activities, and it falls on EU countries and competent authorities
to approve the designation and operation of such facilities. As such, Defra is supporting
National Farmers' Union and other industry bodies' efforts to push for the construction
and designation of an appropriate BCP for livestock; specifically, through data collection
and sharing to support the commercial case for such a facility, and through diplomatic
channels to support the designation and approval process.</p>
