Veterinary Medicine: Export Health Certificates
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the issuance process for export health certificates to British companies exporting natural animal health products to Bahrain and the wider Middle East in establishing a level playing field with international competitors in the region.
- Answer
-
The UK and Bahrain enjoy a strong trading relationship, including in agri-food goods. Import conditions vary on the specific goods – and this is for each country to determine, according to its own biosecurity considerations. The Government’s Export Support Service provides information to exporters, including documentation typically needed by the importing nation.
