Our manifesto made it clear that we would take early steps to control specifically the export of live farm animals for slaughter, once we leave the European Union (EU). We recently launched a call for evidence on the control of live farm animal exports for slaughter but also on how we could improve animal welfare during transport for all purposes which may include animals transported for research purposes after the UK leaves the EU. The call for evidence closed on the 22 May 2018 and we are currently analysing the responses.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has also asked the Farm Animal Welfare Committee (FAWC) to look at what improvements could be made to the transport regulatory regime for all animals and for all purposes. We hope to receive the recommendations from FAWC later in the year.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We will assess the potential merits of bringing forward legislative proposals relating to the export of live animals for research procedures abroad in light of responses received to the call for evidence and in light of FAWC\u2019s report.<\/p>

Defra is concerned that the number of pet animals that one person is currently allowed to transport into the UK has the potential to facilitate the illegal puppy trade.<\/p>

Whilst we remain a member of the EU, we continue to be signed up to the requirements of the Pet Travel Scheme. After we leave we want pet owners to continue to be able to travel to and from the EU with the minimum of disruption whilst maintaining high biosecurity and welfare standards. The Government is negotiating our departure from the EU and Defra is looking at future arrangements, including those for pet travel. We are also putting in place contingency arrangements in the event of a no-deal outcome.<\/p>

In 2017 the EU Commission consulted Member States on whether some Pet Travel Scheme rules should be amended. We stand by our response to that consultation in which we recommended lowering the maximum number of pets that are permitted to be moved in a single consignment. Looking to the future, leaving the EU will open up new opportunities for managing our pet travel arrangements, including ensuring there are robust controls on disease and animal welfare.<\/p>

Defra has an extensive programme of work focused on preparing for a range of scenarios to make sure we are ready for the point when the UK leaves the EU. This includes ensuring there is a system which will enable the tracking of all movements of animals transported from EU member states to the UK and from the UK to EU member states. The precise nature of our future relationship with the EU is still to be determined and is the subject of negotiation.<\/p>
