(38) EFSA opinions confirmed that too many stops with unloading and loading in control posts along the journey are detrimental to animal welfare, as they lead to additional handling of animals, with consequent additional stress and increased risk of exposure to injury and infections. Therefore, long journeys should not include more than one rest period with unloading and loading.For journeys by road or rail longer than 9 hours for purposes other than for slaughter, in addition to the latest scientific advice from the EFSA, the maximum driving periods and minimum rest periods for road drivers provided for in Regulation (EC) No 561/200622 should be taken into consideration in order to better coordinate with the journey times and rest periods of the animals transported.(38) EFSA opinions confirmed that the unloading and loading activities are detrimental to animal welfare, as they lead to additional handling of animals, with consequent additional stress and increased risk of exposure to injury and infections.

Justification

EFSA notes the problems animals experience during loading and unloading, but does not give a maximum number of loading and unloading operations. There is also no justification for the fact that stops where animals are unloaded and loaded cannot be made at checkpoints. For the sake of consistency, the part of the text on animals for slaughter should be removed.

Excessive detail in EU legislation can create unnecessary complexity and reduce flexibility in implementation. Instead of rigid prescriptive measures, transport requirements should focus on ensuring the welfare of animals through outcome-based standards. While scientific advice supports increasing the minimum age and weight of animals before transport to enhance their resilience, regulatory provisions should allow for practical and innovative solutions that ensure animal welfare without imposing overly restrictive time limits.

To prevent dehydration and metabolic imbalances, it is recommended that, during transport, unweaned animals be provided with water enriched with electrolytes, a solution that helps maintain hydration and electrolyte balance. The electrolyte water systems must be designed to allow each animal access to an adequate amount of liquid with minimal intervention from the staff and should be easy to clean and disinfect to prevent contamination. Especially in roll-on/roll-off sea transport, consideration must be given to the limited space and the movement of the vessel, with watering systems adapted to these conditions.

EFSA and other scientific research also recognizes that animals can experience motion stress during sea transport and when conditions at sea are particularly rough, motion stress is expected to be substantial for animals. There are also various other stressors that are just as applicable at sea as in other modes of transport such as the potential for hunger and thirst to arise and the effect of mixing with other unknown animals. Consequently, the impact of sea transport on animals is also detrimental for their welfare. The time spent at sea, as it is for road and rail, should be counted as journey time. particularly as there would be the risk that should the time not be counted, that operators and transporters could shift their operations entirely to sea journeys unlimited in time and in turn circumvent all land travel obligations. Sea journeys should therefore be limited to a maximum of 48 hours, or 24 hours for unweaned animals. Where a competent authority designated by a Member State considers, upon a sea state and weather forecast provided by a qualified meteorological information service, that exceptionally bad weather or sea conditions are creating a threat for the safety or welfare of animals, it should inform the master of a ship, which intends to leave the port, of the situation and should prohibit the ship from leaving the port, until the situation returns to normal.

Journey times on means of transport by road and rail are therefore limited and rest periods are required with the purpose of mitigating the effects of motion stress on the welfare of transported animals. The EFSA opinion also concludes that, in addition to the motion stress involved in road transport, roll-on-roll-off ferries entail additional problems if the sea is rough and/or the vehicles on the ferry are not properly secured against movement in any direction. Therefore, during journeys on roll-on-roll-off ferries, motion stress is even more relevant than during road transport. Furthermore, according to EFSA opinions, additional stress hazards are posed by possible waiting times at ports, extreme weather conditions at sea as well as heat stress due to poor air conditions if the transport vehicles are parked below deck. Consequently, the impact of sea transport on animals in a means of transport on roll-on-roll-off ferries is to be considered at least equal to the stresses involved in road and rail transport, with the result being that even at sea animals cannot be expected to travel for longer than a defined total journey time. Provided that animals are accommodated on board of livestock vessels or container vessels that meet the requirements set out in Chapter IV of Annex I, and that there they have sufficient space to be able to lie down and rest, have feed and water in sufficient amounts and at appropriate intervals, the time spent at sea should not be counted as journey time.

Animals on board of sea vessels such as livestock vessels, container vessels and roll-on-roll-off vessels should have sufficient space to be able to lie down and rest, have feed and water in sufficient amounts and at appropriate intervals, but this is not guaranteed.

(42) The temperature experienced by animals during transport is an important factor impacting their welfare. Measuring inside temperatures while on the road has proven difficult and does not easily allow for remedial actions to be taken. Maintaining temperature limits within a vehicle is difficult as it depends on many factors, including humidity and space provided on board. Transporting animals in trucks equipped with air conditioning is costly and likely unsustainable. Therefore, it is appropriate to limit journey times during extreme temperatures to reduce the exposure of animals to these and, in the most extreme cases, to allow the transport of animals only during the night. In addition, measures palliating potential negative effects of the temperature on board should also be taken, such as opening the truck vents and providing more space for the animals.(42) The temperature experienced by animals during transport is an important factor impacting their welfare. When the truck is equipped with a temperature regulation system, the internal temperature should be monitored. In the absence of such a system, alternative measures—such as opening vents and providing additional space for the animals—are recommended to mitigate potential adverse effects of temperature fluctuations on board.

As the temperature inside of the vehicle is affected by the temperature outside, but is influenced by other variables, such as stocking density or animals’ own body heat, temperature and humidity, both temperatures inside and outside the vehicle must be taken into account and monitored to ensure that animals will not face extreme temperatures. It is appropriate to not allow journeys during extreme temperatures to prevent the exposure of animals to hypothermia, including shivering, stiff muscles and freezing during cold temperatures, and heat stress, including shortness of breath and exhaustion, during warm temperatures. In addition, measures reducing potential negative effects of the temperature on board, should also be taken, such as using heating/air-conditioning systems, opening the truck vents and providing more space for the animals. Temperature monitoring instruments must always be inspected, calibrated and certified by the competent authorities.

Given technological advancements, vehicles used for the transport of live animals can be equipped with efficient cooling and heating systems, which allow the maintenance of the temperature inside the animal compartment within optimal limits for each species, regardless of external climatic conditions. By using these technologies, compliance with animal welfare requirements during transport can be ensured, without any EU member state being disadvantaged by the specific climatic conditions of the region. Thus, transport can take place under uniform animal protection conditions, ensuring that exposure to extreme temperatures is prevented and that animal welfare is maintained throughout the journey.4o mini

Measuring inside temperatures while on the road has proven difficult and does not easily allow for remedial actions to be taken. Maintaining temperature limits within a vehicle based on ventilation systems is difficult as it depends on many factors, including humidity and space provided on board, and is unable to actively cool or warm the air. Transporting animals in trucks equipped with air conditioning is therefore a better option, even though it is due to the cost not yet available for every means of transport. Therefore, it is appropriate to give transporters a choice. Either they limit journey times during extreme temperatures to reduce the exposure of animals to these and, in the most extreme cases, to allow the transport of animals only during the night. In addition, measures palliating potential negative effects of the temperature on board should also be taken, such as opening the truck vents and providing more space for the animals. Or, climate control systems are installed in the means of transport, which implies no restrictions on journey times specific to extreme temperatures.

(42a) The European Union is committed to the protection and promotion of high animal welfare standards. This commitment requires considerable effort and must not be undermined by the movement of live animals to third countries where adequate animal welfare is not ensured. Respect for animal welfare standards must not end at the EU's borders. Third countries receiving live animals from the European Union must therefore submit a declaration of compliance with the guidelines on animal welfare in international trade of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH). If there is a reasonable suspicion of harm or threat of harm to animals, the European Commission has the power to initiate an investigation. If this investigation reveals non-compliance with the animal welfare guidelines, the Commission may prohibit the transport of live animals to the third country concerned until further notice.

(55a) The development of slaughter infrastructures is a vital tool in reducing journey times for animals. It is particularly important to strengthen these infrastructures, including mobile slaughter units, in rural and remote regions in order to minimise the transport of live animals and foster an approach that ensures greater respect for animal welfare and health and environmental requirements. It is essential to put in place a harmonised regulatory framework and appropriate incentives to ensure that these infrastructures are effective and economically viable in all the Member States.

Justification

It is often preferable for farmers to use contracted services, neighbours or borrowed vehicles to move animals destined for transhumance from their farms. Requiring full compliance when animals are not transported using farmers' 'own means of transport' would be unjustified and unnecessarily burdensome, as most animals transported by contractors or neighbours arrive safely at their destination.

Justification

The transport of animals to assembly centres is considered a low-risk journey. For logistical reasons, animals have to be transported from different points, which is why the journey, for the purposes of this regulation, should start at the assembly centre and not at each of the animals' points of origin. Given that there is no 'journey' between the farm of origin and the assembly centre, we are proposing that this exception be included.

Or. en

Justification

According to the subsidiarity principle, regulating at the EU level is justified if this is more efficient than regulating at the national level. Reindeer herding is applicable only to Finland and Sweden. Therefore, regulation at EU-level is not justified. In addition, reindeer herding is a very specialized livelihood compared to all the other forms of animal production sectors and is also integral part of Sami culture. Reindeer have adapted well to the cold climate, and the graze freely most of the year.

Or. en

Justification

Reindeer herding is applicable only to Finland and Sweden, and therefore, according to the subsidiarity principle, an EU regulation is not justified. Furthermore, reindeer herding is a very specialized livelihood and also an integral part of Sámi culture. Reindeer are very well adapted to the cold climate, and they graze freely for most of the year.

Justification

A seven-day waiting period at assembly centres or markets could make it difficult for those centres to survive. Assembly centres bring together a larger number of animals from smaller holdings, generating homogeneous lots and optimising logistics. Requiring farmers to collect livestock directly on the farm would not allow for the use of large, specialised vehicles owing to local conditions.

Proposal for a regulation

Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 3

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
3. ‘place of destination’ means a slaughterhouse or any other place where an animal is unloaded from a means of transport and accommodated for at least a week prior to the time of any subsequent departure;3. ‘place of destination’ means the place where an animal is unloaded from a means of transport;

Or. fr

Justification

La définition des termes "lieu de destination", "lieu de départ" et "centre de rassemblement" à l'article 3 de laproposition, combinée au reste du texte, menace l'existence de marchés d'animaux vivants dans certains Étatsmembres. Il n'y a aucune raison d'organiser de tels marchés si le transporteur doit déjà savoir dans quelle fermel'animal aboutira, ce qui est impossible avant la vente effective sur le marché.En outre, l'imposition d'une période d'attente de sept jours dans les centres de rassemblement (s'ils doivent êtreconsidéré comme un "lieu de destination" selon la définition de la proposition) pourrait créer des difficultéspour la survie de ces centres. Les centres de rassemblement regroupent un grand nombre d'animaux provenantd'exploitations plus petites, ce qui permet de créer des lots homogènes et d'optimiser la logistique. Laconséquence de cette mesure serait que le bétail devrait être collecté directement à la ferme, ce qui est souventdifficile, car seuls de petits camions peuvent être utilisés. En effet, les conditions locales ne permettent pasl'approche de grands véhicules spécialisés. L'accès au marché pour les petites et moyennes exploitations setraduirait par des coûts de transport plus élevés.Nous suggérons de revenir à la définition fournie dans le règlement 1/2005. Amendement de repli avec les amendements 8 et 9.

Including the loading and unloading processes in the “journey” and “journey time” definitions puts undue pressure on animal handlers and transporters.
