Ireland have published a derogation which permits movement for Breeding and Production without additional Bluetongue requirements so long as NI only has BTV3.
CURRENTLY, NO ADDITIONAL BLUETONGUE REQUIREMENTS ARE NEEDED FOR IRELAND FOR EXPORT FOR BREEDING AND PRODUCTION
An additional certificate template guidance is available below to show you how to complete the Bluetongue attestations needed for Ireland. Please use this in combination with the existing guidance for completion of the wider certificate.
Exports for breeding & production to other EU member States MAY be possible if the Member State is not BTV Free and allows derogations from BTV requirements. Published derogations can be viewed here Bluetongue - Food Safety - European Commission Please check well in advance of the export and if unsure check with us by e-mailing daeratradeexports@daera-ni.gov.uk
