Description
Export applications for live animals from England in 2015, covering intra-EU trade, exports to third countries, and national trade to Northern Ireland. The dataset includes details on certificate types, species, transit and destination countries, and export dates. Data is provided by the UK Government's Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) under Crown Copyright.
Use Cases
Analyzing trade volumes and routes for specific animal species based on the species and destination country columns.
Tracking regulatory compliance by mapping export certificates (EHC) to the relevant EU Council Directives mentioned in the description.
Studying transit patterns for live animal shipments based on the listed transit countries.
Monitoring the temporal distribution of export applications and shipments based on the application and export date fields.
Strengths
Includes specific regulatory context, linking certificate references (e.g., 2011/214, 92/65) to EU Council Directives.
Clearly defines geographic scope, specifying exports where the loading address was in England only.
Distinguishes between three distinct trade types: Intra-union, Third Country, and National Trade (Northern Ireland).
