Official acts in accordance with the Federal Veterinary Regulations are subject to a fee.

The fees are determined in accordance with the applicable state ordinance on fees in conjunction with the special fee schedule (basic rate: EUR 15.80 to EUR 95.00).

The subject matter of the fee falls within the scope of Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of December 12, 2006 on services in the internal market (OJ EU No. L 376 p. 36). According to Article 13 (2) sentence 2 of the Directive, the fee to be set may not exceed the costs of the procedure; the significance, economic value and other benefits are therefore not taken into account when setting the fee).

You must notify the competent authority before providing the service for the first time or immediately after providing the service if prior notification was not possible due to the urgency of the activity. The notification must be renewed once a year.

To report the provision of services in accordance with the Federal Veterinary Regulations, please contact the Rhineland-Palatinate State Examination Office.
