275 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the precise legal basis upon which a certificate of competence under the European Communities (Animal Transport and Control Post) Regulations 2006 will be issued in relation to the transport of non-equine, non-bovine, non-ovine, non-caprine, or non-porcine animal or non-poultry animals such as greyhounds; if it is necessary or legally possible for a transporter to obtain a certificate of competence in relation to the transportation of animals not apparently covered by the aforementioned legislation including all vertebrates apart from those specifically mentioned in section 4(1) of S.I. No. 675 of 2006; and the reason in view of the fact that the scope of Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2005 apparently includes all vertebrate animals, its implementing legislation S.I.
