Reduce the cost of Animal Health Certificates

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Investigate the following and overly expensive system for transporting domestic pet's to and from Europe. When in the EU, we paid £40 approx. for a three year pet passport. Now, with Brexit, it will cost over £200 and more for a four month AHC.
Thankyou.
This should have been discussed during Brexit negotiations

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government is not responsible for setting the prices that veterinary practices charge for their services. The Government could fix the price of providing certain services, but it would then be up to veterinary practices whether they chose to offer these services.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to set up a national system to provide animal health certificates at a fixed cost, if that is what you want to happen.
