Brussels Airlines isn’t responsible if a pet is denied entry to or transit through a nation
On 1 October 2004, the EU started new regulations for its Transport of pets, related to the transportation of dogs and cats involving the two Member States and from third countries in the EU:
The pet originates in the European Union and travels within the European Union or to a state outside the EU that’s recognised as protected (*see below) and contributes into the European Union: In these scenarios, the pet needs a passport, ID and evidence of anti-rabies vaccination.
The pet originates in the European Union, travels to a country outside the EU which isn’t recognised as secure and returns into the European Union: In these scenarios, the pet needs a passport, ID, evidence of anti-rabies vaccination and evidence that a blood control had been done 30 days after vaccination but before departure.
The pet doesn’t originate from the European Union but from a country that’s recognised as secure and travels into the EU: In these scenarios, the pet requires an ID, evidence of anti-rabies Legislation and a health certificate in accordance with this EU-model.
The pet doesn’t originate from the European Union or by a nation that’s recognised as secure and travels into the EU: In both these scenarios, the pet requires an ID, evidence of anti-rabies vandalism, a certificate of vaccination respecting the EU model and evidence that a blood control had been done 30 days after vaccination but before departure.
Malta, UK, Ireland and Cyprus: Beside the above conditions, you’re also needed to demonstrate evidence of behavioural therapy and tapeworm treatment.
