Lobbying on Protection of animals during transport

Protection of animals during transport

Food safety

Based on new scientific evidence, the EU rules on the welfare of animals during transport will be revised to improve welfare of animals and ensure fair competition for business operators. New measures will target fitness for transport, watering and feeding intervals, journey times and resting periods, space allowance, means of transport, transport conditions, and exports to third countries. The Regulation will simplify the current rules and contribute to a sustainable food system.

Gelatine Manufacturers Urge Coherent and Practical Animal Transport Rules

European Chemical Industry Council, 12 Feb 2024

The group recommends the legislation be complementary and coherent with other animal welfare regulations. They also call for harmonized and practical implementation across the EU.

Uniform rules across member states would prevent competitive disadvantages for manufacturers.

European farmers warn transport rules threaten food supply chains

European farmers, 11 Apr 2024

Copa and Cogeca oppose the new journey time limits and temperature-based restrictions. They argue the proposal ignores practical experience and forces unfeasible structural changes.

Current rules avoid massive investment costs and significant logistics disruptions for farmers.

Environmental objectives are undermined by a predicted increase in truck traffic and emissions.

Eurogroup for Animals Demands Shorter Journeys and Export Ban

Eurogroup for Animals, 12 Apr 2024

The group requests a maximum eight-hour journey for free-moving animals and four hours for those in containers. They also call for a total ban on live exports to non-EU countries.

This would shift the market toward the group's preferred, more cost-effective carcass trade model.

Agricultural exporters would lose their business routes if live exports to third countries are banned.

Organic farmers urge flexible transport rules amid slaughterhouse scarcity

International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements EU Regional Group, 11 Apr 2024

They request that organic facilities be eligible for exemptions allowing longer travel times. They also advocate for extended transition periods for small-scale farmers and mobile slaughterhouses.

This would protect the organic price premium and reduce financial pressure on farmers.

Live animals suffer more if exemptions allow longer journeys and fewer veterinary inspections.

Road Transport Union Rejects More Complex EU Animal Transport Rules

International Road Transport Union Permanent Delegation to the EU, 6 Mar 2024

IRU calls for a better and more applicable legal framework ensuring legal certainty. They seek improved compatibility between animal welfare rules and the road transport acquis. They demand keeping current surface space and height requirements which are sufficient.

Maintaining current space rules prevents a massive increase in the number of trucks.

Farmers and traders would immediately lose access to many slaughterhouses under new caps.

Swedish Farmers Urge Fair Competition and National Exceptions

Lantbrukarnas Riksförbund, 11 Apr 2024

The Federation of Swedish Farmers requests reasonable transition times, financial support for small farms, and distinctions between domestic and international transport requirements. They advocate for species-specific journey times based on scientific evidence while questioning the practicality of mandatory veterinary supervision during loading.

These requests would lower compliance costs and prevent smaller Swedish farms from being out-competed by larger operations.

Small-scale farms and the horse industry face significant financial strain if current proposals are implemented without changes.

Danish Agriculture and Food Council urges rethink of transport rules

Landbrug Fødevarer - Danish Agriculture and Food Council, 12 Apr 2024

DAFC urges maintaining current 24-hour transport cycles and excluding loading times from travel duration. They also request deleting requirements for mandatory veterinary supervision during loading.

Preserving current standards avoids high investment costs and maintains existing agricultural logistics.

Environmental goals are undermined by a predicted forty percent increase in truck traffic.

MSD Animal Health urges mandatory electronic identification for animal transport

Merck Sharp Dohme Europe Belgium SRL, 12 Apr 2024

MSD requests mandatory electronic identification tags to monitor individual animal health during journeys. They suggest starting with long-distance transports exceeding nine hours.

European Landowners' Organization asbl, 12 Apr 2024

The ELO requests extending journey limits to 12 hours and removing mandatory veterinarian oversight during loading. They advocate for a flexible, risk-based approach to temperature limits instead of prescriptive rules.

These changes would reduce regulatory burdens and protect profit margins for rural businesses.

Danish Shipping pushes for stricter livestock vessel classification rules

Danish Shipping, 9 Jan 2024

They recommend all livestock vessels be certified by elite classification societies to ensure high safety standards. They argue home countries must be allowed to inspect their own ships regardless of departure locations. Additionally, they suggest reducing mandatory fodder reserves to prevent waste on shorter trips.

These rules protect Danish shipowners from being undercut by cheaper, lower-standard international competitors.

International ship operators with poor maintenance records lose the ability to compete in EU markets.

French farmers' union urges EU to scrap transport reform

Fédération Nationale des Syndicats d'Exploitants Agricoles, 12 Apr 2024

FNSEA advocates for stopping the regulatory reform and maintaining the current framework. They argue new rules ignore agricultural realities and create excessive logistical hurdles.

UECBV Urges Substantial Revision of Proposed Animal Transport Rules

Union Européenne du Commerce du Bétail et des Métiers de la Viande, 12 Apr 2024

The organization requests a substantial revision focusing on enforcement rather than stricter requirements. They oppose journey limits, increased space allowances, and mandatory veterinarian supervision during loading.

Revised rules would avoid doubling transportation requirements and maintain the economic viability of meat production.

Consumers would face unaffordable prices for basic animal products due to increased transport costs.

AnimalhealthEurope seeks clinical trial protections in welfare overhaul

AnimalhealthEurope, 10 Apr 2024

The group wants to ensure that new welfare rules do not accidentally impede mandatory veterinary clinical trials. They also recommend lowering thresholds for exemptions to prevent small breeders from avoiding health standards. Finally, they suggest allowing trained staff to supervise loading due to veterinarian shortages.

This would protect the pharmaceutical industry's drug approval processes from legal uncertainty and delays.

Small breeders and pet shops would face higher costs by losing their regulatory exemptions.

Feed Industry Questions Feasibility of Stricter Calf Transport Rules

Fédération Européenne des Fabricants d'Aliments Composés, 12 Apr 2024

The organization requests that all measures be supported by strong scientific evidence to avoid penalizing economic viability without guaranteed animal welfare benefits. They argue some provisions are not feasible, such as requiring veterinarians at farm loading, and question costly new feeding technologies lacking proven effectiveness.

This would reduce compliance costs and avoid mandatory veterinary requirements and unproven feeding systems.

Young calves lose stronger protections during transport through weakened fitness requirements and technology standards.

Austrian farmers demand practical changes to EU animal transport rules

Landwirtschaftskammer Österreich, 11 Apr 2024

The organization rejects mandatory veterinary supervision at every loading as unrealistic. They advocate for excluding loading times from journey durations to reduce stress. Space requirement formulas should be evaluated to ensure animal safety and feasibility.

Lowering requirements prevents costly investments in new stables and avoids higher operational expenses.

Environmental interests are harmed as lower loading densities lead to increased CO2 emissions.

LTO Nederland Urges Practicality in EU Animal Transport Overhaul

Land- en Tuinbouw Organisatie Nederland, 12 Apr 2024

LTO requests excluding loading times from journey calculations and lowering the calf transport age. They also call for removing requirements for veterinary supervision during loading.

These changes would prevent increased housing costs and maintain logistical efficiency for farmers.

Animal welfare organizations lose the stricter protections proposed by scientific advisors for young livestock.

FACE demands clearer rules for non-commercial animal transport

Federation of Associations for Hunting & Conservation of the EU, 12 Apr 2024

FACE calls for precise wording to distinguish commercial transport from non-commercial activities. They seek clear definitions for animal fitness and transport requirements to ensure legal certainty.

Clearer rules would exempt hunters from complex standards intended for commercial animal transport.

Regulatory authorities may struggle to monitor animal welfare in non-commercial settings due to loopholes.

Nordic hauliers urge shifting animal fitness liability to keepers

Nordic Logistics Association, 13 Mar 2024

They want to limit liability to the transport leg and shift fitness assessments to keepers. They argue that space requirements need further impact assessment due to environmental concerns.

Shifting liability protects drivers from being unfairly penalized for pre-existing animal health issues.

The environment loses as increased space requirements necessitate more trucks, raising emissions per animal.

Euro Foie Gras warns against new animal transport rules

This would help producers avoid new administrative burdens and higher production costs.

Animal welfare advocates lose as birds would remain in crowded transport conditions.

IFAW calls for stricter rules on wild animal transport

International Fund for Animal Welfare, 9 Apr 2024

The organization calls for species-specific provisions for wild animals and a clear definition of economic activities. They also request an explicit exclusion for animal rescue emergency purposes to ensure prompt action.

This would ensure that wild animal welfare is protected while removing legal ambiguity for rescue operations.

Commercial wildlife traders and circuses would face stricter requirements and higher costs for transport.

La Coopération Agricole urges EU to scrap animal transport reform

La Coopération Agricole, 9 Apr 2024

The organization demands an end to the legislative reform and the maintenance of current rules. They argue the existing framework is already among the world's most rigorous.

This would prevent a massive increase in production costs and protect smaller cooperatives.

Slaughterhouses in remote areas and rural territories would suffer heavy economic and social losses.

Spanish agri-cooperatives reject proposed EU animal transport rules

Cooperativas Agro-alimentarias de España, 12 Apr 2024

The group demands the withdrawal of the proposal to prevent severe damage to livestock production and the Spanish food chain. They argue that the new rules discriminate against southern European countries through restrictive travel times and temperature requirements.

Avoiding these rules would prevent significant administrative costs and protect the viability of rural livestock farming.

Consumers would suffer from direct price increases and a new wave of food inflation.

Compassion in World Farming urges stronger EU animal transport rules

Compassion in World Farming Brussels, 23 Mar 2024

The organization requests journey time limits aligned with scientific evidence, ban on animal exports to third countries, and stricter temperature controls. They argue current proposal ignores EFSA recommendations and perpetuates animal suffering during transport.

This would end factory farming practices and promote sustainable food systems.

Animals lose stronger welfare protections as proposed rules perpetuate systematic suffering during transport.

Italian transporters CNA urge flexibility in animal welfare rules

Confederazione Nazionale dell'Artigianato e della Piccola e Media Impresa, 5 Apr 2024

CNA urges the Commission to consider national specificities and carrier responsibilities. They warn that increasing space requirements could cause animals to fall. Changes to journey times require better rest area infrastructure for animals.

Avoiding new space mandates protects the industry from higher transport costs.

Transported animals may suffer more injuries from falling in larger spaces.

French livestock and meat association opposes animal transport reform

Association nationale interprofessionnelle du bétail et des viandes, 11 Apr 2024

The industry would avoid higher production costs and safeguard its economic competitiveness.

Small businesses and transport workers would face financial ruin and worsening conditions.

IHK Nord demands uniform, digitalized EU animal transport rules

IHK Nord e.V. - Arbeitsgemeinschaft norddeutscher Industrie- und Handelskammern, 12 Apr 2024

IHK Nord demands a fully digital documentation system to reduce reporting burdens on businesses. They insist on uniform EU-wide standards to prevent national deviations and oppose liability for transport violations in non-EU countries.

Uniform rules would reduce administrative burdens and eliminate financial risks from third-country legal violations.

Animal welfare standards may suffer where national governments are barred from setting stricter protections.

European veterinarians urge stricter limits on animal transport

Federation of Veterinarians of Europe, 12 Apr 2024

The federation advocates for shorter journeys and rearing animals closer to slaughter locations. They demand a ban on exports to countries with poor welfare protections. They also call for independent veterinary supervision and specific training for welfare officers.

This proposal would expand the professional influence and oversight roles of European veterinarians.

Maritime transport operators face financial losses from the mandatory phasing out of sea exports.

Rural poultry association demands exemptions from strict transport rules

European Rural Poultry Association, 11 Apr 2024

The association requests that transport time only includes actual travel, excluding loading and unloading phases. They also urge the EU to permit manual catching by the legs and maintain a seventy-two-hour transport window for day-old chicks.

Avoiding stricter density and crate height requirements prevents massive infrastructure costs for small-scale producers.

Animal welfare advocates lose their push for shorter travel durations and stricter handling bans.

Deutscher Tierschutzbund - German Animal Welfare Federation, 19 Jan 2024

The federation demands a nine-hour transport limit for all animals. They call for a ban on live exports outside Europe. They request specific protections for aquatic species and pets.

This would ensure the organization successfully secures stronger legal protections for animals.

Livestock exporters and shipping firms would lose significant revenue from transport bans.

British Agriculture Bureau warns EU transport rules hurt farmers

British Agriculture Bureau, 11 Apr 2024

The Bureau requests more flexible distance limits and training instead of mandatory veterinarian supervision. They also demand maintaining current minimum ages for calf transport and existing space allowances.

This would protect agricultural businesses from significant new regulatory costs and operational burdens.

Remote farmers and consumers would suffer from higher food prices and reduced competition.

European Fish Farmers Urge Tailored Rules for Aquatic Transport

Federation of European Aquaculture Producers, 8 Apr 2024

FEAP requests the regulation explicitly exclude fish embryos and eggs from its scope. They propose doubling the allowed transport radius for farmers to one hundred kilometers. They also advocate replacing mandatory veterinary supervision with experienced farm operators.

This would lower compliance costs and remove technical requirements that are not practically feasible.

Animal welfare groups lose higher protection standards as veterinary oversight is replaced by informal experience.

AIRE seeks to end animal transport exclusivity for IATA members

Airlines International Representation in Europe, 11 Apr 2024

AIRE requests that the regulation include airlines that are not IATA members. They propose allowing carriers that are IOSA certified or follow IATA Live Animals Regulations.

The Born Free Foundation, 12 Apr 2024

Born Free calls for new rules to cover all live animal species regardless of the transport's purpose. They request the inclusion of protected wild animals and those moved between zoos to close legal loopholes.

Broadening the scope would simplify legal enforcement and advance the charity's animal protection mission.

Commercial transporters and circuses would face higher costs if current species exemptions are removed.

Djurens Rätt Demands Strict Eight-Hour Limit on Animal Transport

Djurens Rätt, 12 Apr 2024

The group demands an eight-hour journey limit for livestock and a total ban on non-EU live exports. They propose replacing live shipments with meat and genetic material. They also seek to prohibit transporting unweaned or pregnant animals.

These restrictions would achieve their primary objective of significantly reducing long-distance live animal transport.

Livestock exporters and shipping firms would lose international markets and face operational bans.

Green REV Institute Demands End to Live Animal Transport

Green REV Institute, 9 Apr 2024

The organization calls for a total ban on the transport of live animals and a transition to plant-based food systems. They argue that transport inherently violates animal freedoms and that current regulations are insufficiently enforced.

These changes would advance their mission of dismantling the livestock industry and promoting plant-based diets.

The livestock industry would lose the financial benefits of international trade and current logistical simplifications.
