MilesBuzz! - EU to issue passports for pets

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">BRUSSELS, Belgium - In an effort to make it easier for pets to travel with their owners in Europe, The European Commission (news - web sites) on Thursday proposed issuing wallet-sized passports for dogs, cats and ferrets.



Owners will be able to use a standardized blue booklet stamped with the European Union (news - web sites)'s circle of gold stars, listing vaccinations and certifying the pets are rabies-free. </font>

Glad to know the Eurocrats are doing something to earn their wages.

Do the new passports meet new US requirements? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

And while Continental and Virgin both offer loyalty programs for pets http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif this story isn't about miles or points, so I'm going to move the post over to TravelBuzz (http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttravel_forumcgi/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=TravelBuzz!&number=11&DaysPrune=5&LastLogin=).
