[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7278355, member: 348"] As it stands at the moment, live sheep travelling from the mainland to NI from Jan 1st, will essentially have to be under the same regs as our current exports from GB to Eire. They will have to be either from a Mv accredited flock/tested negative at 12 months old (as is the case now I understand), but also either come from Scrapie Monitored (for >7 yrs) flocks, or be tested ARR/ARR for scrapie genotype. Entire males will also have to be tested negative for Brucella Ovis within 30 days prior to movement. If those animals travel from flocks that aren’t Mv accredited & scrapie monitored, that will add at least £20/hd onto the costs (or £60/hd for entire males), in addition to vet certification costs. That’s a huge extra cost, even in the unlikely event that many sheep would satisfy those scrapie requirements. It would probably be cheaper to pay the 43% tariff to export directly & legally I suspect. [/QUOTE]
