Gute Nachrichten!


> > NEW PET TRAVEL RULES TO COME INTO FORCE IN 2012
>
> Defra has announced that new rules on pet travel will be introduced from
1st
> January 2012. The changes will mean that the rules on rabies vaccination
for
> entry into the UK will be in line with the rest of Europe.
>
> Defra has carried out a scientific risk assessment to find out how the
> changes will affect the level of risk of rabies entering the UK. Although
> the probability of rabies introduction into the UK will increase, the
> assessment found the risk to still be very low after the increase.
>
> The British Veterinary Association (BVA) and British Small Animal
Veterinary
> Association (BSAVA) are informing their members of the new rules so that
the
> right advice can be given to pet owners planning to travel abroad with
their
> animals.
>
> Dogs, cats and pet ferrets entering the UK from an EU or ‘listed’ third
> country from 1 January 2012 must:
> be microchipped
> be vaccinated against rabies
> have waited 21 days after vaccination before entering
> have an EU Pet Passport
>
> The current requirement to carry out a blood test followed by a six-month
> wait before entry into the UK will no longer be required.
>
> From 1st January pets entering from a non-listed third country must pass a
> blood test 30 days after vaccination followed by a three-month wait.
>
> Until now, the UK, Ireland and three other Member States have had
> derogations from EU pet travel rules to allow for additional controls to
> protect against rabies, ticks and tapeworms.
>
> Successful vaccination programmes in wildlife in mainland Europe have now
> allowed the UK to consider whether the additional controls for rabies are
> still necessary.
>
> The BVA and BSAVA have continued to lobby in Europe for additional
controls
> to be maintained for tapeworms, which could introduce Echinococcus
> multilocularis to the UK – a significant public health concern.
>
> Although a final decision has not yet been made the European Commission
has
> indicated that it will support the UK case for additional tapeworm
controls.
>
> Commenting, Harvey Locke, President of the BVA, said:
>
> “It is vital that any controls on animal movements are proportionate to
the
> risk.
>
> “Due to the highly successful vaccination programme in wildlife in
mainland
> Europe there has been a huge reduction in the incidence in rabies.
Research
> carried out by Defra reveals that the risk of introducing rabies under the
> new rules is very low.
>
> “However, it is essential that pet owners get good veterinary advice when
> planning to take their animals abroad because pets can be exposed to a
> number of diseases not currently endemic in the UK, for example
> leishmaniasis, babesiosis, and ehrlichiosis.
>
> “As part of responsible ownership we would always advise pet owners to
visit
> their vet for a pre-travel consultation to discuss how to protect the
health
> and welfare of their animals when travelling abroad.”
>
> Andrew Ash, President of the BSAVA, added:
>
> “The Pet Travel Scheme has been highly successful in keeping the UK free
of
> rabies. BVA and BSAVA have been working closely with Defra to ensure that
> any changes to the pet travel rules do not threaten our disease-free
status.
>
> “The rabies vaccine has advanced and now has a longer duration of immunity
> and we welcome the continuing requirement for all pets to be vaccinated
> before travel.”

Hallöchen

und wie ist das dann mit Schweden?
Ich meinte so vage im Hinterkopf zu haben, daß es ab 2012 EU-einheitlich sein soll.

Kann mich da aber auch täuschen
