Dr. Paul Corkery:

For ease, I will answer the Senator's questions in reverse order. Regarding the North and the South, it is clear in the regulation that a veterinary prescription can be filled within the community. The way that we understand that is that an individual must be there in person with a veterinary prescription from their own member state. Vets here in the South may work in the North as well but in order to work legally in the South they must be on the VCI register of vets.
