The following table details annual levels of live cattle exports since 2002. The live export trade is an important competitive element in the livestock and meat industry and, as such, has my full support as an integral part of the sector. Following the abolition of Export Refunds on live animals, other than for breeding, this trade is now almost exclusively with other EU Member States.
