The ship left from Cartagena on December 18 with a load of calves destined for Turkey.


But when the ship got to Turkey the cattle were rejected, according to the Spanish ministry responsible. It said: 'The Turkish authorities rejected the export certificate issued by the Spanish authorities and prevented the landing of the calves in the port of destination.'

The ship then travelled to Libya, where it was again rejected.

The report concluded euthanasia would be the best solution because the animals had suffered from the journey and were in a poor state.

They had been rejected from a number of countries over fears they had insect-born bovine bluetongue virus - which is not a threat to humans, but causes lameness and haemorrhaging in cattle.

The report said the cattle were not fit for transport outside the EU and could not be allowed into the EU. But Mr Masramón said the animals could recover and any illness was to be expected after so many weeks at sea.

honestly why can't these people just fill in the customs forms properly?

Interesting would it have been possible to sell them inside the EU one wonders?

Issues with third country exporting will affect everyone in the UK if we continue to believe its unfair. We just need to get on with it and as you can see even Spain mess up with this stuff.

What, the whole country of Spain messed this up? Or was it just one instance, from one company, from one country but the Fail are trying to equate this to the shambles that lots of our exporters are currently experiencing?
