Western European League
Today, the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture did not take a decision on possible
exception on ban of movement of horses for the riders qualified to the World

a Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD)-free country for the last 14 days prior to their
arrival in Sweden, it is unlikely that they can arrive on time to participate
to the Final.

decides next Monday to allow exception to the ban of movement of animals for
competition horses.This would mean that those horses could be transported under
special conditions outside of the country. More news on Monday. More news on
