🇬🇧 English

This corrigendum fixes a footnote reference in the EU model certificate rules for consignments of certain terrestrial animals and germinal products entering the Union. It changes the clinical inspection footnote number from 17 to 20, without changing the inspection requirement itself. The practical effect is limited. Exporters, veterinary authorities, and compliance teams using the affected certificate template should make sure they rely on the corrected reference, but the underlying animal health check remains the same.
