Today the European Commission have issued the following Statement by Vice-President Maro ef?ovi? (europa.eu) which provides for a three-year extension to the grace period for veterinary medicines until 31/12/2025.

These arrangements will mean that the current processes for moving veterinary medicines between Great Britain and Northern Ireland will continue to be administered as they have been up to this point.

We welcome this extension to the veterinary medicine grace period from the Commission and are looking forward to further discussions on veterinary medicines in the New Year.We will continue to work for a long-term, sustainable solution to the supply of veterinary medicines.

We are updating our Information Hub guidance pages to reflect the arrangement to extend the grace period for veterinary medicines.

We welcome your feedback, please send your comments to niprotocol@vmd.gov.uk and would encourage you to continue to communicate your sectors needs to the European Commission including the need to find a solution
