IAM issues more than 80 provisional licenses for establishments of veterinary clinical care and commercial activity of animals

IAM has completed the review of all applications and issued 25 provisional licenses for establishments of veterinary clinical care activities and 59 provisional licenses for establishments of commercial activity of animals.

In order to help the sector of veterinary clinical care and commercial activity of animals operate in accordance with the law, the “Law on Veterinary Clinical Care and Commercial Activity of Animals” provides for a transitional regime for the relevant establishments, with the transitional period ending on 31 March. Since 1 April, all establishments of veterinary clinical care, breeding, sale and boarding of animals are required to obtain a license before commencement of business; otherwise they shall be deemed to be operating without a license. The Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) recently has issued provisional licenses with two-year validity to establishments in the sector that meet the requirements set out in the transitional provisions and intend to continue with their operation. Besides, IAM has published a list of the establishments of veterinary clinical care and commercial activity of animals on the website for the public to view.
