Germplasm Exports 2015

This dataset contains information on export applications received for Intra-union trade, exports to Third Countries and exports for National Trade (Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands) of germplasm (semen, ova and embryos). The dataset contains columns for the Export Health Certificate (EHC) number issued, the commodity being exported, the date the application was received, the date of export and the destination country of export. Where the EHC column does not contain data, the export is for Intra-union trade to a Member State of the European Union under Council Directives 88/407/EEC (as amended), 89/556/EEC (as amended), 90/429/EEC (as amended) or 92/65/EEC (as amended). This will include Intra-union trade certificates where the final destination was to a Third Country but the germplasm transited the EU en route and was therefore required to have Intra-union trade certification issued as well as an EHC. This dataset is for germplasm exports where the loading address was in England only.
