The veterinary certificate, being a formal declaration of a veterinarian, plays an important role in the prevention and control of animal health and welfare issues and related public health issues. Veterinary certificates must be clear and reliable. For this reason FVE developed a position paper outlining the main principles of veterinary certification.
