As loading durations vary significantly between species, it may be more appropriate not to count the loading time to the overall journey time calculation.

Or. es

Justification

The size or category of an animal cannot be the only key factor in determining the size and density of animals. For example, chickens are natural prey, and their natural behaviour is to huddle together to protect themselves from attack. These species-specific characteristics should also be taken into account to ensure that the cage design provides a high level of animal welfare.

Or. fr

Justification

For hygiene reasons, poultry should not be fed during transport. This is widely recognised good practice in the sector. Fasting before and during transport is crucial to reduce the risk of faecal contamination from poultry carcasses. It is advisable to withhold feeding for a few hours to ensure that the birds’ intestines are empty. This is vital for keeping contamination in check during transport. Animal fasting is a quality control requirement.

Or. en

Justification

Poultry should not be fed during transport for hygienic purposes. Fasting before and during transport is essential to minimize droppings, reduce the risk of fecal contamination of carcasses, and facilitate cleaning and disinfection at slaughterhouses. Furthermore, a feed withdrawal period of 8 to 12 hours is advised to ensure the birds' intestines are empty while preserving their strength, which is vital for effective contamination control during processing.

Application for organiser authorisation for long journeys
1. Organisers may only make arrangements for the transport of animals for long journeys if they hold an authorisation granted in accordance with Article 6.
2. The organiser shall submit an application for an authorisation to transport animals for long journeys to the competent authority in TRACES using the form in Section 1 of Annex V. The application shall specify whether the organiser intends to organise the transport of animals to third countries or not.
3. Organisers shall apply for an authorisation to no more than one competent authority, in no more than one Member State.

The application shall specify whether the organiser intends to organise the transport of animals to third countries or not.2. The organiser of a cross-border journey shall submit an application for an authorisation to transport animals for long journeys to the competent authority in TRACES using the form in Section 1 of Annex V. The application shall specify whether the organiser intends to organise the transport of animals to third countries or not. For other journeys, national provisions shall apply.

Or. en

Justification

The compulsory use of the TRACES electronic registration system and all its requirements even for short domestic journeys at this stage seems a disproportionate administrative burden, especially for small local operators. Most slaughterhouses already have digital systems in place that are used for logging journeys, and they would all have to communicate with TRACES directly to make this work. We suggest that if TRACES is to be used for logging journeys, it should be mandatory only for cross-border transport, according the rules of the Animal Health Law.In addition, impact assessment analysis only covers transports between Member States registered in TRACES, thus excluding all intra-national transports of animals.

4 a. For transport within the same Member State, national rules on transport authorisations shall apply and the use of TRACES shall not be mandatory.

Or. en

Justification

The compulsory use of the TRACES electronic registration system and all its requirements even for short domestic journeys at this stage seems a disproportionate administrative burden, especially for small local operators. Most slaughterhouses already have digital systems in place that are used for logging journeys, and they would all have to communicate with TRACES directly to make this work. We suggest that if TRACES is to be used for logging journeys, it should be mandatory only for cross-border transport, according the rules of the Animal Health Law.

Article 7deleted
Application for transporter authorisation for short journeys
1. Transporters may only transport animals for short journeys if they hold:
(a) an authorisation for short journeys granted in accordance with Article 9(1) for the species and categories concerned; or
(b) an authorisation for long journeys granted in accordance with Article 9(1) for the species and categories concerned.
2.
The transporter shall submit an application for an authorisation to transport animals on short journeys to the competent authority in TRACES using the form in Section 2 of Annex V. The application shall contain evidence that the following conditions are met:
(a) the transporter is established, or, in the case of a transporter established in a third country, is represented, in the Member State of the respective competent authority;
(b) the transporter has sufficient and appropriate staff and equipment and has written instructions for staff as regards watering, feeding and care of animals and operational procedures in place to enable its staff to comply with this Regulation;
(c) the drivers and attendants employed by or providing services to the transporter have followed the relevant training courses and have certificates of competence as provided for in Article 38;
(d) neither the transporter nor their representatives in the Member State where the application is submitted have committed a serious infringement as provided for in Article 44 in the 5 years preceding the date of the application.
For the purposes of point (d), if the transporter or their representatives committed a serious infringement during that period, they shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the competent authority that they have taken all necessary measures to avoid further infringements.

Or. fr

Justification

As with Article 5(1), (2), (3) and (4), in France, transporters and their employees already possess the requisite qualifications, namely a certificate of competence to transport live animals, which they obtain from an authorised body following a period of training. As such, transporters and attendants are perfectly capable of carrying out their activities, and should not be required to obtain further certifications or authorisations of any kind.

Justification

The compulsory use of the TRACES electronic registration system and all its requirements even for short domestic journeys at this stage seems a disproportionate administrative burden, especially for small local operators. Most slaughterhouses already have digital systems in place that are used for logging journeys, and they would all have to communicate with TRACES directly to make this work. We suggest that if TRACES is to be used for logging journeys, it should be mandatory only for cross-border transport, according the rules of the Animal Health Law.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment

The transporter shall submit an application for a certificate of approval of a means of transport of animals by road or rail for long journeys or of containers for large animals, to the competent authority using the form set out in Section 5 of Annex V or according to the national provisions.

Justification

The compulsory use of the TRACES electronic registration system and all its requirements even for short domestic journeys at this stage seems a disproportionate administrative burden, especially for small local operators. Most slaughterhouses already have digital systems in place that are used for logging journeys, and they would all have to communicate with TRACES directly to make this work. We suggest that if TRACES is to be used for logging journeys, it should be mandatory only for cross-border transport, according the rules of the Animal Health Law.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(d) the vessel flies a flag with a flag performance rating of white or grey according to the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on port State control.deleted

Or. en

Justification

It is important to emphasize that the mere registration of a vessel under a flag considered "white" or "grey" under the Paris Memorandum of Understanding does not automatically guarantee the safety or technical condition of the vessel, but rather the color of the country. Therefore, the fundamental criterion for approving the transport of live animals must be the concrete evaluation of the vessel's technical condition and risk profile, rather than the flag under which it operates.

Or. en

Justification

The compulsory use of the TRACES electronic registration system and all its requirements even for short domestic journeys at this stage seems a disproportionate administrative burden, especially for small local operators. Most slaughterhouses already have digital systems in place that are used for logging journeys, and they would all have to communicate with TRACES directly to make this work. We suggest that if TRACES is to be used for logging journeys, it should be mandatory only for cross-border transport, according the rules of the Animal Health Law.

Article 15 – title

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
Journey log for all long journeys and short journeys to third countriesJourney log for all long journeys

Or. en

Justification

This amendment with the deletion of "and short journeys to third countries" is to be seen as a horizontal amendment for the entirety of Article 15. There is no professional necessity to apply the requirements for long journeys to short journeys to a third country. Trade agreements with third countries would be a much more effective solution for animal welfare during transport.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment

Or. fr

Justification

TRACES is subject to the rules and requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 on official controls and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1715. The term ‘short journeys’ appears in neither. The rules currently require each journey to be recorded in a company system or, in the case of animals transported between Member States and to third countries, in TRACES.
