It is understood that the person concerned registered a foal in 2009 with a passport issuing organisation, a passport was not received and a duplicate passport issued in 2012 that was stamped as ‘not fit for human consumption’ in accordance with national and EU legislation. In such circumstances it is not possible to issue the original passport as a duplicate passport has issued.
