In order to keep certain terrestrial animal species, the operator must submit a notification of the location of animal keeping to the register of animal keepers.
Such animals are
Submit a notification of an animal keeping location in the online e-service for the Finnish Food Authority’s register of Animal Keepers and Premises. Alternatively, you can submit the notification on a form to the Rural Livelihood Authority of your municipality who will enter your animal keeping location in the animal keeper register.
Also submit a notification if you interrupt or stop keeping animals.
The registration can be made if the animal keeper has filled in all the necessary information in the e-service of the register of animal keepers and locations.
A trader established in another European Economic Area that provides its services in Finland on a temporary basis is required to submit the same notifications as a trader established in Finland.
The notification must be given both prior to starting the operations and within 30 days of interrupting or terminating animal keeping.
The registry will remain in effect until the animal keeping in the location is notified to have been terminated.
