    BVA calls for clarity over ‘settled status’ for EU vets in UK

    The Prime Minister has unveiled proposals for EU nationals who have lived in the UK for five years by a specific cut-off date to be given the chance to take up ‘UK settled status’.
    However, the British Veterinary Association, the UK’s leading body for the veterinary profession – which each year sees around 50 per cent of vets registering to practise in the UK coming from overseas, mostly the EU – says the Prime Minister’s proposals fall short of providing the certainty that EU vets and vet nurses living and working in the UK deserve.
    British Veterinary Association president Gudrun Ravetz said: “Our EU colleagues play a crucial role in helping the UK maintain animal health, animal welfare, and public health for the rest of society too. Earlier this week the Defra Secretary of State rightly acknowledged the importance of EU vets to the UK economy, from food hygiene and safety to monitoring disease outbreaks and facilitating trade.
    “BVA has called for all EU vets and vet nurses currently working in the UK to be guaranteed living and working rights. At this stage, the Prime Minister’s outline proposal leaves too many questions unanswered and we hope the full details, due to be released on Monday, offer something more concrete. The EU referendum has already had a serious effect on EU colleagues, who have been teetering on a knife-edge for 12 months now.”
