In reference to trader notice TN VECIT 04/2021 it states that Department Veterinary Inspectors (VIs) will accompany calves from Ireland to the control posts in Cherbourg during the peak season to verify the welfare of animals during transport. These inspections will be not be announced to exporters or transporters. This is a requirement of EU legislation on official controls. I have a report from 2019 and one from 2020 where a vet travelled to France, but did not go to the control post. I understand there were difficulties with travel due to covid in 2021 but could you please provide me with dates where a dept vet has accompanied calves to the control posts in Cherbourg during peak season this year and can I please have copies of the reports.
