The export ban on sheep and goats in Romania is set to expire on December 31, 2026, but the European Commission plans to extend it. Romania's vaccination against sheep and goat pox will continue until 2028, limiting export opportunities. Only Tulcea and Constanța may have exceptions due to their vaccination status. The European Commission's regulations prohibit the export of vaccinated animals, complicating the situation for farmers in Sibiu, where there are between 500,000 and 550,000 sheep. Farmers can temporarily register in Tulcea or Constanța to facilitate exports after vaccination. The country has received vaccines from the European Commission, aiming for high vaccination coverage among livestock.
