Proposal for a regulation

Article 27 – paragraph 1 – point a

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(a) the journey consists of a maximum of two parts, each of them not exceeding 21 hours, after which time the animals shall reach the place of destination;(a) if the journey consists of multiple transport legs, each of which must not exceed 29 hours, after which time the animals shall reach the place of destination;

Or. en

Justification

Given pigs' susceptibility to disease at staging points, they should ideally remain on the vehicle. To minimize risk, the transport leg is extended from 21 to 29 hours, allowing direct travel without a major rest period.

Or. en

Justification

The total journey trip should be 111 hours, meaning three parts of 21 hours, followed by two breaks of 24 hours (21+24+21+24+21).

Proposal for a regulation

Article 27 – paragraph 1 – point a

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(a) the journey consists of a maximum of two parts, each of them not exceeding 21 hours, after which time the animals shall reach the place of destination;(a) the journey consists of a maximum of four parts, each of them not exceeding 21 hours, after which time the animals shall reach the place of destination;

Or. en

Justification

Adding two extra journey cycles to the regulation would help account for the varied geographic realities across Member States. Landlocked countries frequently face longer transport times to reach ports, and many transports are carried out entirely by road. As an example, road export of breeding pigs from central Member States to Greece can take well over 20 hours. Recognising these differences is key to maintaining balanced market conditions across the EU.

Proposal for a regulation

Article 27 – paragraph 1 – point a

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(a) the journey consists of a maximum of two parts, each of them not exceeding 21 hours, after which time the animals shall reach the place of destination;(a) the journey consists of a maximum of one part, not exceeding 4 hours, after which time the animals shall reach the place of destination;

Amendment 1573

Alexander Bernhuber

Proposal for a regulation

Article 27 – paragraph 1 – point a a (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(a a) after the journey time the animals must be unloaded, fed and watered and be rested for at least 24 hours at a control post before the transport may continue until the transport reaches the place of destination

Or. en

Justification

With the proposed maximum transport period for mammals, it is likely that trade with all member states may become unfeasible. This would result in economic disadvantages for member states and hinder the unrestricted movement of goods. Considering the genetic diversity of some breeds, the movement of breeding animals remains essential. Although modern methods like semen/embryo transport can minimize the need for live animal movement, certain restrictions exist, such as the prohibition of embryo transfer in organic farming according to EU Regulation 848/18. A pragmatic solution must be devised to address the transportation needs of breeding animals.

Alexander Bernhuber

Proposal for a regulation

Article 27 – paragraph 1 – point b

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(b) after the first 21 hours from the start of the journey, and if the animals have not yet reached the place of destination, they are unloaded for a rest period of at least 24 hours at a control post before the transport may continue;deleted

Proposal for a regulation

Article 27 – paragraph 1 – point b

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(b) after the first 21 hours from the start of the journey, and if the animals have not yet reached the place of destination, they are unloaded for a rest period of at least 24 hours at a control post before the transport may continue;(b) after the first, second and third parts of the journey, and if the animals have not yet reached the place of destination, they are unloaded for a rest period of at least 24 hours at a control post before the transport may continue. The Commission shall take the necessary steps to ensure both the availability and sanitary safety of animal transport checkpoints, particularly in areas with high transport density. These checkpoints shall be operated in a manner that minimises the risk of disease transmission, including from highly infectious diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease. Should an outbreak be linked to a checkpoint, farmers shall be entitled to full compensation for damages incurred as a direct consequence.

Article 27 – paragraph 1 – point b

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(b) after the first 21 hours from the start of the journey, and if the animals have not yet reached the place of destination, they are unloaded for a rest period of at least 24 hours at a control post before the transport may continue;(b) after the first 21 hours from the start of the journey, and if the animals have not yet reached the place of destination, they shall be unloaded for a rest period of at least 24 hours only if this is possible, depending on the traffic and parking or unloading conditions on arrival at the control post before the transport may continue;

Or. fr

Justification

The proposal does not take into account possible unforeseen circumstances and difficulties linked to traffic conditions or access to a parking place or unloading point: these conditions are beyond the driver's control.

Proposal for a regulation

Article 27 – paragraph 1 – point b

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(b) after the first 21 hours from the start of the journey, and if the animals have not yet reached the place of destination, they are unloaded for a rest period of at least 24 hours at a control post before the transport may continue;(b) after 21 hours and if the animals have not yet reached the place of destination, they are unloaded for a rest period appropriate to the needs of the given species at a control post before the transport may continue; The 21 hours may be extended by an additional 4 hours if the destination can be reached within that time;

Or. es

Justification

Rest periods of 24 hours for journeys of 21 hours, and rest periods of 1 hour after ten hours of travel would delay the journey and increase stress. This requirement should be made more flexible to accommodate different species and allow additional time when the destination is nearby. Compliance with labour legislation applicable to drivers must always be ensured, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 and national regulations.

Or. fr

Justification

Fallback amendment. The mandatory 24-hour rest period (for all species) after 21 hours of transport would add unnecessary unloading/loading periods that would stress the animals even more than extending the time spent on the road. These rules need to be made more flexible to bring them into line with the social rights of drivers under Regulation (EC) No 561/2006.

Proposal for a regulation

Article 27 – paragraph 1 – point c

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(c) both parts of the journey referred to in point (a) include rest periods of at least 1 hour after a maximum of 10 hours; during the rest period, the animals shall remain on the stationary means of transport;(c) each part of the journey referred to in point (a) include rest periods of at least 1 hour, which should be aligned with drivers´ mandatory breaks; during the rest period, the animals shall remain on the stationary means of transport, unless animals are transported by rail;

Transport times vary according to the final destination of the animals: the place of departure and the final destination are the two essential elements of the contract of carriage between the carrier and their customer, regardless of whether an importer or exporter. Consequently, from a commercial point of view, a carrier can transport animals for varying lengths of time depending on the specific nature of the orders (loading points, unloading points, grouping of batches...) made by the customer.

2. When, within the Union, no slaughterhouses adapted for slaughter of the species and categories of animals referred to in paragraph 1 can be reached within a short journey for a specific place of departure, the competent authorities at the place of departure may grant an authorisation for a long journey to the nearest slaughterhouse adapted to the species transported.2.

This maximum time may be extended by up to two hours in cases where the law obliges the driver to take breaks before reaching the slaughterhouse.

Or. en

Justification

Proposed journey time limits would seriously impact farmers in sparsely populated remote areas where it is impossible to collect a reasonable number of animals and reach a slaughterhouse within the time limit, or where the distance reduces the farmer's choice of abattoir thus hindering the producers' ability to obtain optimal prices for their animals.

When, within the Union, no slaughterhouses adapted for slaughter of the species and categories of animals referred to in paragraph 1 can be reached within a short journey for a specific place of departure, the competent authorities at the place of departure may grant an authorisation for a long journey to the nearest slaughterhouse adapted to the species transported.2. However, if any of the loading points are located in a sparsely populated area falling under NUTS3 classification, long journeys of maximum 12 hours are allowed. This extra time may be extended by an additional two hours in cases where the driver, before reaching the slaughterhouse, is legally obliged to take a break.

Or. en

Justification

The proposed journey time limits would seriously impact farmers in sparsely populated and/or remote areas, where it is impossible to collect a reasonable number of animals and reach a slaughterhouse within the time limit, or where the distance reduces the farmer’s choice of abattoir thus hindering the producers’ ability to obtain optimal prices for their animals. The suggested rules would disrupt many supply chains, potentially causing widespread impact across the EU livestock sector. The authorisation needs to be blanket for the whole area to avoid unnecessary administrative burden. Also, it is against the rules of fair competition to force any farmer to only sell animals to one nearest abattoir, so they must have a choice, even in remote areas. Also, Animal Transportation act must not be in conflict with directive 2002/15/EC on the organisation of the working time of persons performing mobile road transport activities which sets out the rules on when the drivers must take breaks.

Justification

The competent authorities should be given more flexibility so that farmers established in remote areas are not obliged to deliver their animals to a particular operator. It should also be borne in mind that there is a shortage of slaughterhouses available for certain species or type of animal (e.g. spent hens).

The journey time for the transport by road of unweaned calves, lambs, kids, piglets and foals shall not exceed 66 hours, structured in three consecutive segments of 21 hours, 24 hours, and 21 hours respectively, in accordance with the provisions on resting, feeding and watering intervals.

Or. en

Justification

The Commission’s proposal to raise the minimum age for transporting unweaned calves from 2 to 5 weeks, combined with a limitation of transport time to 8 hours, presents significant practical challenges for the sector and could have severe economic consequences.

Currently, farmers lack the capacity to house calves for such extended periods. Substantial investments would be required in infrastructure, as well as increased operational costs linked to energy, feed, veterinary care and labour.

It is therefore proposed to revise the minimum eligible age for transporting unweaned calves for slaughter to 2 weeks, in line with current practice. For calves not destined for slaughter, a journey time of 21 + 24 + 21 hours should be allowed.

Furthermore, provisions on minimum weight should reflect the breed-specific birth weights of calves rather than imposing a uniform threshold, to ensure animal welfare and realistic implementation.

By way of derogation from paragraph 1, if the planned journey time for unweaned calves, lambs, kids, piglets or foals exceeds nine hours, the animals must be given a rest period of at least one hour during the transport, so that they can be given liquid and fed if necessary. The journey time before and after the rest must not exceed nine hours.
However, if any of loading points is located in a sparsely populated area (NUTS 3), journeys of maximum 12 hours are allowed without a rest period.

Justification

This would significantly disadvantage MS's with long distances, mountainous regions, or lacking infrastructure, while sometimes even being counterproductive for the welfare of animals. These rules will disrupt many supply chains, potentially causing widespread impact across the EU's livestock sector.

More than 90% of calf transports in Finland fit within 9 hours, but those originating in a sparsely populated area exceed it by no more than an hour. It would be risky to the overall purpose of this act if the vehicle had to stop for an hour while it could already reach the destination.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
4. Unweaned calves, lambs, kids, piglets and foals shall be provided with water ad libitum and be fed species-specific milk or appropriate milk replacement at 9-hour intervals counted from the start of the journey and regardless of the means of transport in which they are being transported.4.

Or. es

Justification

As regards the transport of calves, equipping transport vehicles with milk for feed or milk replacement is very expensive and poses hygiene risks. The use of alternative systems should be considered. The feeding of milk or milk replacements is associated with a high risk of gastrointestinal diseases, as calves react very sensitively to different feeds.

Or. de

Justification

The EFSA regards movement stress as a major risk for animals that are being transported. Accordingly, journey times are limited and rest periods are necessary. Ro-ro ferries on rough seas, or where vehicles are poorly secured, are particularly problematic. Waiting times, extreme weather conditions and poor air below deck constitute additional risks. According to the EFSA’s opinion, stress at sea is therefore at least as great as on the roads, meaning that maximum transport times must be complied with in this respect too.

Justification

Cela constituerait une discrimination à l'encontre des États membres en fonction de leursconditions climatiques.L'absence de dispositions spécifiques aux espèces peut également compromettre le bien-être desanimaux.Il est disproportionné de se baser sur les prévisions de température extérieure pour imposer lesobligations de cet article.Il est regrettable que la proposition et l'analyse d'impact ne tiennent pas compte de la différence, ence qui concerne l'impact sur le bien-être des animaux, entre l'augmentation progressive de la température etles pics exceptionnels pendant les vagues de chaleur.Toutes les limites de température sont excessivement restrictives. Considérer -5, 25 ou 30°C commedes "températures extrêmes" (30°C n'est pas une température exceptionnelle pour les pays méditerranéens)est particulièrement discriminatoire pour le secteur de l'élevage dans les États membres du Nord et du Sud.La fixation d'une température générale de -5ºC pour toutes les espèces ne repose sur aucunebase scientifique. Par exemple, les bovins, les ovins, les lapins ou les chevaux tolèrent nettement mieuxles basses températures que les volailles. Le même raisonnement pourrait s'appliquer aux espèces et auxraces adaptées à des températures plus élevées.Imposer le transport de nuit aurait de graves conséquences sociales.Lorsque le véhicule est en mouvement, les animaux sont refroidis par le flux d'air. Des arrêts tropfréquents peuvent entraîner une détérioration duconfort thermique des animaux transportés.Les restrictions de température sur le transport de tout type de bétail, telles que proposées par laCommission, conduiraient à la perte d'opportunités d'exportation.L'obligation et la définition de "couvrir" le véhicule (entre -5ºC et 0ºC) ne sont pas claires en termespratiques.

Or. en

Justification

Relying on the external temperature forecast to impose the obligations of this article, without considering the temperature, airflow, species transported, or other indicators inside the transport, is disproportionate. When the temperature is low, other measures are put in place to ensure that the animals remain at a comfortable temperature, whether the transport is of sheep, cattle, pigs or poultry. Such measures would include using insulated vehicles or additional heat. That ensures that animals can safely be transported at low external temperatures. Setting a blanket temperature of -5ºC for all species has no scientific basis. For instance, cattle, sheep, rabbits, or horses have significantly better tolerance to low temperatures than poultry. EFSA does not really address the question of cold temperatures in transport, but in general, many animals tolerate low temperatures and thrive in them.

As a road vehicle's interior temperature may differ significantly from outside temperatures, it is appropriate, in the case of long journeys, to focus on the ambient temperature in the animal compartment. In addition, climatic conditions in Member States differ greatly in some cases; therefore, transport stakeholders in a number of EU regions could be unduly disadvantaged by the original arrangements in connection with long journeys.

2. For transport of terrestrial animals by road, except for dogs and cats:2. The organiser, when planning the journey, and the transporter, when carrying out the transport, shall ensure that animals are transported by road and rail in the following conditions:
(a) For terrestrial animals other than dogs, cats and end-of lay hens, the temperature inside the animal compartment is between 0°C and 35°C;
(b)For rabbits and poultry other than end-of-lay hens, when the temperature forecasts at the place of departure and at the place of destination are below 10°C, the animals are only transported in animal compartments with protection against windchill;
(c) For end-of-lay hens, the temperature inside the animal compartment is between 10 and 35°C;
(d)For dogs and cats, the temperature inside the animal compartment is between 15 and 25°C and the relative humidity is between 30 and 70%; however, by way of derogation, in case of transport of brachycephalic breeds or types and of dogs and cats with extreme coating, such as in case of heavy undercoat and bald breeds, the temperature shall be adapted to the needs of those animals.

Or. en

Justification

The use of weather forecasts as the basis for authorising animal transport raises concerns due to their variability and limited accuracy. Even minor deviations in temperature predictions can result in significant restrictions. This approach adds complexity to planning without providing clear certainty for transporters.

Moreover, the differing geographical and climatic conditions across the EU must be acknowledged, as well as the differing needs of animal species in relation to temperature.

A more effective control mechanism could be to allow transport in vehicles equipped with functioning temperature regulation systems (such as air conditioning and heating). These systems already exist and can provide real-time monitoring. To reinforce this approach, it would be reasonable to require that any malfunction in onboard temperature sensors be promptly reported.

(b) when the temperature forecast indicates temperatures below -5°C, in addition to the measures in point (a), the journey time shall not exceed 9 hours;(b) when the temperature forecast indicates temperatures below -5°C, in addition to the measures in point (a), relevant compensating measures are put in place to ensure that the animals are transported at a comfortable temperature, taking into account the species, breed and age of the animal concerned.

Or. en

Justification

Relying on the external temperature forecast to impose the obligations of this article, without considering the temperature, airflow, species transported, or other indicators inside the transport, is disproportionate.

Setting a blanket temperature of -5 °C for all species has no scientific basis. For instance, cattle, sheep, rabbits, or horses have significantly better tolerance to low temperatures than poultry. EFSA does not really address the question of cold temperatures in transport, but in general, many animals tolerate low temperatures and thrive in them.

Imposing night transport would have serious social and economic repercussions, especially in regions where temperatures above 30 °C last several months, as it would force transporters, livestock farmers and slaughterhouses to work at night. Night work is considered more dangerous and therefore the risk of having to transport all livestock species at night needs to be properly assessed.

However, the transporter may take appropriate remedial measures to ensure that the animals are transported at a comfortable and life-safe temperature, taking into account the animal species, breed and age.

Justification

Article 31 refers to the obligation for transporters to increase the space available for the animal by 20 % when the temperature exceeds 30°C. Unlike other species, horses are transported in individual spaces. In practice, it is impossible to modify the size and design of the stalls during transport to take account of temperature changes.

Journey times and conditions for transports for terrestrial animals other than domestic birds, rabbits, and game bird species by road and rail
The organiser, when submitting the journey log in TRACES, and the competent authority when approving the journey log, shall take into consideration the temperature control and ventilation systems available in the means of transport. A number of aspects should be particularly considered:
1. The type and positioning of sensors the means of transport that better determine the actual temperature in the vehicle during transport.
2. Ventilation systems on means of transport by road shall be designed, constructed and maintained in such way that, at any time during the journey, whether the means of transport is stationary or moving, they are capable of maintaining a range of temperatures from 5ºC to 30ºC within the means of transport, with a +/- 5ºC tolerance, depending on the outside temperature.
3. Such temperature limits shall also take into account the species transported, their age and pregnancy status.
4. During a heat wave, Member States may take additional measures to ensure the welfare of the animals being transported. However, even under extreme temperature circumstances, the option of continuing the journey shall be available.
5. Paragraph (1) to (4) shall not apply to animals transported in bio-secure transports for the purposes of an authorised project or breeding under Directive 2010/63/EU.

Article 31a
Declaration on compliance with animal welfare standards of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH)
1. The transport of animals to third countries shall be permitted only if the third country concerned has submitted a declaration on compliance with the WOAH Terrestrial Animal Health Code to the Commission.
2. An investigation shall be opened into compliance with the health code referred to in paragraph 1 in response to a written complaint from a Member State, from one or more transport operators in the Union or from an animal welfare association in the Union, or where the Commission acts on its own initiative, in so far as there is sufficient evidence of harm or risk of harm to animals as a result of non-compliance with the guidelines.
3. Upon receipt of the complaint, the Commission shall inform all Member States and conduct an investigation. Should the investigation establish non-compliance with the health code referred to in paragraph 1, further transport of animals to the third country concerned shall be prohibited until further notice by means of a delegated act. The transport ban laid down in accordance with the second sentence shall be rescinded by the Commission if the third country concerned has provided appropriate evidence that the shortcomings identified have been rectified.

Or. de

Justification

The transport of live animals should only be allowed to third countries that have declared compliance with the Terrestrial Animal Health Code of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH). In response to complaints of breaches of this health code, an investigation should be opened by the Commission and, if necessary, the transport of live animals to the third country concerned should be banned until the shortcomings identified have been rectified.

(2) The temperature control and ventilation systems available in the means of transport shall be taken into account when it comes to ensuring a suitable temperature inside the means of transport.
In particular, the following set of issues should be taken into consideration:
a) The type and positioning of the sensors in the means of transport for better determining the actual temperature in the vehicle during transport;
b) Whether or not it is possible to continue the journey in extreme temperature conditions;
c) The species being transported and for which the different temperature requirements need to be established on the basis of the species, age and whether the race concerned has thick or short fur;

Article -32 (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
Article-32
Permitted third country destinations for the transport of live animals
1. By 2030, economic operators shall be prohibited from transporting animals to third countries, by any means of transport, unless the country of destination features on a list of permitted export destinations under paragraph 2 of this Article.
2. The Commission shall ensure that bilateral agreements with third countries of destination are in place to ensure the fulfilment of requirements of this Regulation up until the final destination, and to implement animal welfare standards of equivalence. The Commission shall by means of implementing acts in accordance with Article 49, provide for a public list of permitted export destinations.

Or. en

Justification

Allowing for a permitted number of destinations for the transport of live animals to third countries, aka a white list, should be in place until a wider prohibition on the transport of animals to third countries comes into force in 2033. This will ensure in the transitional period that only exports of live animals to countries where there are equivalent animal welfare standards is allowed.
