Pet owners traveling to Malta in the future will be glad to hear the recent news coming from the EU.  As reported by the Malta Independent:

The European Commission yesterday proposed extending Malta’s transitional measure applying to the health of pets travelling with their owners from certain countries.

The transitional measure on animal health requirements, or the Pet Regulation, also applies to the UK, Finland, Ireland and Sweden and requires the owners of pet dogs, cats and ferrets travelling with them from those countries to another member state to have a pet passport, or when imported from a third country by a certificate providing proof of a valid anti-rabies vaccination.
