The European Union's Official Journal L series for March 27, 2026, lists several new regulations. Notably, Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) 2026/131, 2026/132, 2026/133, and 2026/134 supplement and amend existing regulations regarding animal health requirements for the non-commercial movement of pet animals and disease surveillance. Additionally, Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2026/636 and 2026/705 adopt lists of compliant third countries and establish model identification documents for pet animal movements.

These regulations establish specific requirements and documentation for the movement of pet animals within the EU and from third countries. Importers and exporters involved in the non-commercial movement of pets must ensure compliance with these new rules, including proper identification and documentation. The regulations also update industrial production statistics requirements. Compliance officers should review the specific delegated and implementing regulations to understand the precise obligations related to pet animal movements and industrial data reporting.
