EU. We have applied for that status and are now awaiting a response from the European
Commission.</p><p> </p><p>If we leave the EU without a deal and are listed as a third
country, export health certificates, signed by an official vet or other authorised
signatory, will be required for all live animals to pass into the EU and they will
need to travel through a border inspection post in the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Last year
we also issued a call for evidence on a potential ban on the export of live animals
for slaughter and on improving the welfare of livestock during transportation. The
Farm Animal Welfare Committee is considering the evidence received and will report
in due course.</p><p> </p>
