Prevention of the importation of rabies virus in the summer period to the countries of the European Union

We inform you about the new requirement of the French authorities from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, about the travel conditions of pets from developing countries to European Union countries on RAM flights.

These animals traveling by air may pose a risk of introducing rabies virus into the EU territory, especially at summer period when the flow of travelers increases significantly. Several hundred of non-compliant imports are recorded each year in France related to the illegal introduction of pets that comes mainly from Maghreb (Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria) and Eastern Europe, countries where rabies remains endemic. This situation requires the placement of these animals under prefectural order of surveillance, or even for risky cases, euthanasia when the animal arrives to France.

In order to prevent the risk of transmission of the virus, the European regulation subjects the importation of a pet to a set of sanitary conditions which are harmonized by EU regulation (No 576/2013 and 577/2013)

Besides, animals accompanying travelers from developing countries to European Union countries must:

  • 1. Be identified by micro-chip implanted under the skin.
  • 2. Have a valid anti-rabies vaccination. The pet must be at least 12 weeks old at the time of the vaccination.
  • 3. Have undergone valid serum titration of anti-rabies antibodies, with the exception of animals from a developing country, exempted from this requirement.
  • 4. Be accompanied by an original health certificate provided by the competent health authority of the developing country and a model complying with the requirements of the European regulations.
