Animals & Animal Products (Import & Export) (Laboratories, Circuses & Avian Quarantine) Regulation 2007
The Animals & Animal Products (Import & Export) (Laboratories, Circuses & Avian Quarantine) Regulation 2007 comes into force on 1st July 2007. The act brings into law Commission Regulation 1739/2005 which applies to the movement of circus animals and animal acts between European Union (EU) Member States.
The Regulation was introduced to make travelling between EU Member States for circuses with animals and animal acts more straight forward by having one uniform set of rules rather than having differing rules in each Member State.
Animal Health is responsible for administering the conditions of this Regulation in England and Wales on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Welsh Ministers.
