Correct and from Jan 1 2012 they are scrapping that requirement for import from the EU and other qualifying countries - at last!

Re: Barcelona (pet migration)
We have now arrived in Spain and I'm sure the dog had a better flight than we did 
. On the pet immigration front the officials in Spain were making a great fuss of him and no papers were checked, in fact the officials in Mex city were more concerned about the paperwork and even had a vet on hand to give a quick medical check.
Thanks to all who replied

Thanks to both replies 
I'm sure the dog enjoyed it !! after all the worry and concern from the wife and myself he emerged relaxed and appeared to enjoy attention he was getting. We travelled with AeroMexico.

Re: Barcelona (pet migration)
Thanks for the information on Lufthansa - they have been deleted from my list of carriers. In the US and Canada there have been numerous stories such as yours where airline indifference has caused distress to both the pet and owner.
Some airlines in Canada welcome pets, their policies are reasonable given the severe winter conditions and as a result have seen a steady growth in passengers because they understand that owners care a great deal about their pets. They are a part of the family.
