European veterinarians may offer their services in Greece on a temporary and incidental way, according to the Council of State (CoS) on Monday, partially canceling two Agriculture Minister decisions of 2015, ANA reports.
The contested regulations concerned the certification of veterinarians as well as their access to the newly established electronic database of pets, established by a 2012 law.
Greece’s highest administrative court ruled after injunctions filed by the Panhellenic Animal Welfare Federation and six animal welfare organizations. The court said it was illegal to deny certification of veterinarians who were citizens of EU member states and to restrict the free provision of services within the EU.
