Section IV: Procedure

IV.1)

Description

IV.1.1)

Type of procedure

Open procedure
Accelerated procedure
Justification:  
People fleeing Ukraine are being facilitated to enter Ireland under special exceptional measures provided for under Article 32 of EU Regulation 576/2013 with their pets, regardless of whether the pets have the appropriate certified health requirements. These measures only apply to accompanied pets from Ukraine.
The Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine (DAFM) may wish to isolate some animals for a period of time following arrival into Ireland. DAFM is seeking submissions from suitable entities with the capacity to transport animals from points of entry to isolation facilities in the Republic of Ireland.
The urgency of this requirement has arisen due to the unforeseen conflict in Ukraine resulting in a potential mass influx of Ukrainian refugees with their pets. Ireland's rabies-free status underscores the agri-food sector which is vital to the economy. It is imperative the required services are in place as soon as possible in order to maintain DAFM's role in food security.
