"Mr President, provisions for animal health when transporting pets are particularly important for Member States which are currently entirely free of rabies. In spite of this, I believe that it is vital for moves and travel across borders within the EU to be made easier for families and individuals who are travelling with a pet.
I am pleased that the Council’s proposal has taken into account the views put forward in Parliament’s first consideration of the matter. I find it incomprehensible that there are currently different provisions relating to animal health when transporting pets for commercial purposes in the EU. The risk of rabies infection cannot be significantly different simply because the purpose of the pet’s journey is different. Therefore, it is necessary to adapt the health rules for transporting pets for commercial purposes to this directive.
Finally, Mr President, I would like to thank Mrs Evans for her excellent work on this issue."@en1
