Amendment 2426

Proposal for a regulation

Annex I – Chapter I – point 1 – point f

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(f) they are pregnant females for whom 80 % or more of the expected gestation period has already passed, or females who have given birth in the previous 7 days;(f) they are pregnant females for whom 80 % or more of the expected gestation period has already passed, or females who have given birth in the previous 7 days. It will however be possible to transport these animals in the event that there are animal welfare or health reasons for doing so or on journeys from grazing fields to the farm.

Or. es

Justification

The possibility of transporting cows more than 80% pregnant should be introduced when necessary for health reasons (slaughter by order of the authorities, due to regulated diseases such as tuberculosis, for example) or animal welfare reasons. When the animal is giving birth or soon before or after, it may be necessary to transport it to the barn for various reasons (health, animal welfare, even unexpected weather conditions). Failure to do so would entail serious risks to the health, welfare or even the life of the animal.

Justification

In the context of breeding and reproduction activities, mares are moved as late as possible to a specialised foaling facility in order to ensure their safety and well-being. Similarly, mares can be covered to take advantage of the foal heat within 5 to 13 days of foaling.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment

Or. en

Justification

A change to a minimum of five weeks would have a massive impact on the structure and management of existing farms in the EU, as well as on the potential investments for new calf facilities on dairy farms. The 50-kg minimum is also arbitrary (said weight would vary depending on the breed) and not operational. Structure and management of existing farms in the EU, as well as on the potential investments for new calf facilities on dairy farms. The 50-kg minimum is also arbitrary (said weight would vary depending on the breed) and not operational. Age and weight are indicative parameters, but these parameters alone do not guarantee healthy calves. Colostrum and milk management on farms is as important to limit the incidence of disease in young calves in their first months of life.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(h) they are calves of less than 5 weeks of age and weigh less than 50 kg, piglets, lambs or kids of less than 3 weeks, unless they are transported less than 100 km;(h) they are calves of less than 10 days of age and weigh less than 45 kg, pigs of less than 3 weeks, lambs of less than 1 weeks, unless they are transported less than 100 km;

Or. en

Justification

A change to a minimum of five weeks would have a massive impact on the structure and management of existing farms in the EU, as well as on the potential investments for new calf facilities on dairy farms. The 50-kg minimum is also arbitrary (said weight would vary depending on the breed) and not operational. Also, due to passive immunity transfer from the dam’s colostrum, there is evidence to support that the immune system of a calf at 2-3 weeks is more robust than at five weeks of age, unlike what the Commission states in the impact assessment. Some data suggests that calves heavier than 45 kg at transfer are far less prone to disease and treatment than lighter calves, irrespective of their age at transfer. Colostrum and milk management on farms is as important to limit the incidence of disease in young calves in their first months of life.

1a The production cycle on farms allows calves to be cared for for up to three weeks, so changing the calf care period to five weeks would require high investments in farms that are not equipped for this purpose.

Or. en

Justification

This would mean that the animals would need to remain longer at the farm where they were born. This presents a challenge for agricultural operations, as it leads to increased space requirements and additional labour. The higher space requirement could also lead to a need for additional housing, and thus, investment costs. This situation is particularly problematic for farms with seasonal calving, as many calves are born within a very short time period. Especially in combination with the short proposed transition period of only five years, many agricultural businesses will face major challenges (necessary building permits, etc.). Additionally, a weight restriction disadvantages certain cattle breeds, such as Jersey or Dexter.

Or. es

Justification

Increasing the age at which animals can be transported from two to five weeks would force farmers to expand their facilities and change how they manage them, incurring totally unaffordable costs. What is more, environmental rules limit how much farms can grow. Farmers must sell animals at the appropriate age to meet the demands of their various customers. These new rules could also be detrimental in this regard. The minimum weight requirement of 50 kg is also arbitrary (since this weight varies according to the breed).

Justification

For consistency with the rest of the text and with the definitions of unweaned piglets, we suggest using the age of the pig rather than its weight. Under Council 2008/120/EC laying down minimum standards for the protection of pigs, a piglet is deemed not to have been weaned at 28 days of age (unless the welfare or health of the mother or piglet would be adversely affected).

Proposal for a regulation

Annex I – Chapter I – point 4

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
4. Unbroken equine animals shall not be considered fit for transport on long journeys.deleted

Or. en

Justification

This should be rejected, as the term „unbroken“ does not define any requirements for the handling and transport conditions of the equine, and there is no professional justification for it. The question arises, in particular, as to whether foals intended for slaughter are classified as "unbroken equines." If this is the case, they may not be transported in groups larger than four animals (Annex I, Chapter III, Point 5.3). If this is not the case, equines over eight months old would be required to wear a halter during transport (Annex I, Chapter III, Point 4.3) and to be transported in individual stalls (Annex I, Chapter VIII, Point 4). This would mean that transports of slaughter foals would then be limited to either groups of four (if unbroken) or in individual stalls (if broken). Regarding the use of halters, this is sensible when animals are transported in individual stalls. However, when animals move freely within the transporter (group transport), the use of halters presents a high risk of injury, as the animals may become caught in their own or another animal's halter.

Or. es

Justification

It is not possible for them to receive immediate veterinary treatment as they are not accompanied by a veterinarian during the journey and it is not always appropriate for them to receive treatment for their condition; euthanasia is therefore the most appropriate course of action. The wording should be changed to reflect the actual needs of the animals and the availability of resources. For rabbits and birds, this is not technically feasible owing to the large number of animals and the use of containers.

Birds (broiler poultry, layer poultry and quail) shall be caught, lifted and carried by the legs, using breast slides in cages or operator’s leg as support for bird’s breast. A maximum of 3 birds per hand may be carried. Up to an age of 18 weeks, a maximum of 5 birds per hand may be carried; for older birds, a maximum of 3 birds per hand may be carried.

Justification

There are special partitions in horse trailers and transporters, known as stallion separation walls or stallion grids, which allow stallions to be transported safely alongside other horses. From a professional standpoint, separate transport is therefore unnecessary. There are many examples where breeders transport a breeding stallion and a broodmare in the same trailer and no issues have ever arisen.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
H = W x 1.17 + 20H = W x 1.1 whereby H = minimum vertical height, and W = wither height of the tallest animal in the compartment.

Or. en

Justification

The proposed vertical height rules would considerably decrease the number of animals transported per vehicle by making two-storey transport of cattle impossible, thus incrementing the number of vehicles needed on the road, as well as the need to recruit new drivers. All this would add cost and emissions. In addition, the minimum vertical height proposed in the draft regulation (if the unspecified unit of "20" in the formula is "cm") allows cattle to mount each other, which in a vehicle in motion would increase the risk of injuries considerably.

Justification

The proposed vertical height rules would considerably decrease the number of animals transported per vehicle by making two-storey transport of cattle impossible, thus incrementing the number of vehicles needed on the road, as well as the need to recruit new drivers. All this would add cost and emissions. Slaughterhouses would need to adapt their infrastructure for the increased number of vehicles they would receive – often simultaneously, over a short period of time - and many will not be able to cope. In addition, the minimum vertical height proposed in the draft regulation (if the unspecified unit of “20” in the formula is “cm”) allows cattle to mount each other, which in a vehicle in motion would increase the risk of injuries considerably.

Or. fr

Justification

Étant donné le manque d'études sur la hauteur idéale des conteneurs pour le transport des lapins, le rapport de l'EFSA fait référence à la recherche sur la hauteur des logements des lapins dans les fermes. Toutefois, les experts de l'EFSA soulignent que la durée du transport est beaucoup plus courte que la durée de vie dans les fermes, et que les besoins spécifiques des lapins pendant le transport ne sont pas bien compris. Par conséquent, les lignes directrices relatives à la hauteur des bâtiments d'élevage ne devraient pas s'appliquer aux lapins pendant le transport. Par conséquent, des études scientifiques et des preuves sont nécessaires avant toute décision sur cette question. De plus, d'après l'expérience des opérateurs, la hauteur actuelle des conteneurs est adaptée aux besoins et à la morphologie des lapins qui peuvent ainsi rester dans une position naturelle et confortable pendant le transport.

Livestock vessels or vessels transporting animals in containers for large animals, shall carry from the time of departure sufficient bedding as well as sufficient feed and water to cover the minimum daily feed and water supply requirements set out in Table 1 for the intended journey plus at least seven days’ spare supply of bedding, feed and water.Livestock vessels or vessels transporting animals in containers for large animals, shall carry from the time of departure sufficient bedding as well as sufficient feed and water to cover the minimum daily feed and water supply requirements set out in Table 1 for the intended journey plus at least two days’ spare supply of bedding, feed and water. If necessary, the vessel must proceed to the nearest port to replenish supplies.

Or. es

Justification

With two extra days’ worth of food there is sufficient time to replenish supplies at a nearby port if necessary. Furthermore, this additional volume may, in many cases, pose a danger to the stability of the vessel, and is food that cannot be unloaded or reused for biosafety reasons and must be therefore be thrown overboard. Quantities should thus be kept to a minimum to avoid further pollution.

Justification

The 12-hours journey time limit for poultry and rabbits, including loading and unloading time, is overly restrictive. This is particularly due to extended loading times resulting from large numbers of animals. If poultry is vaccinated, this is usually carried out during loading and unloading and can take several hours, which would further increase the journey time or allow only for shorter trips to comply with legislation. This will further hamper the chances for those animals to reach destinations which lie farther from their point of origin, therefore further limiting free market options for the farmers.

Transport between starter farms and finishing farms can take place between regions of the same Member State, but also between different Member States, as these productions are specific. The distance between the 2 types of farms can be high, especially as the model of rural poultry, based on small farms and small flocks, means more stops for trucks, thus lengthening some journeys.

Or. en

Justification

The proposal limits transport of day-old chicks to 24 hours without taking into account the possibility of feeding and watering during transport, which is not in line with EFSA's recommendation in the scientific opinion on 'Welfare of domestic birds and rabbits transported in containers' (see Welfare of domestic birds and rabbits transported in containers - - 2022 - EFSA Journal - Wiley Online Library).EFSA´s opinion states that no recommendations can be made on the maximum transport time for day-old chicks (see 4. Assessment of scenario 2: Road and air transport of day-old chicks, 4.8 Duration of transport).EFSA focuses on the maximum time for day-old chicks without access to feed and water, which should not exceed 48 hours (see 7.2.7. Conclusions on the maximum duration of transport).This proposal therefore tightens EFSA's recommendations and interferes with existing well-functioning practices (see also current provisions of Re. 1/2005, Annex I, Chapter V, 2.1).Therefore it might be considered to allow longer transport of day-old chicks provided that suitable food and water are available in adequate quantities, e.g. by means of gels in transport boxes. There seem to be no reason to reduce the time limit for this kind of transport to 24 hours.

Reducing this window to 48 hours would create significant logistical challenges, especially for chicks imported from abroad, and is not supported by scientific evidence.

(b) 24 hours for chicks of all domestic bird species, if it is completed within 48 hours after hatching;(b) 72 hours for chicks of all domestic bird species ;

Or. en

Justification

Thanks to their yolk sac, day-old birds have sufficient food and water reserves to meet their needs for the first few days after hatching. This allows them to live long journeys of 72h without problem. For instance, exporters of day-old chicks have shown, for journeys of over 24 hours, 99.5% livability when transported in good conditions. Scientific studies have shown that about 50% of residual yolk has been used after 24h and 85% after 72h. This confirms that chicks can physiologically be transported for up to 72 hours. And it’s not the length of the journey that matters but the quality of the transport conditions.

Or. en

Justification

Scientific evidence indicates that transporting day-old chicks within a 72-hour timeframe post-hatching does not result in significant welfare issues, as mortality rates remain exceptionally low. Furthermore, implementing a regulation contrary to this timeframe would deviate from the conventional definition of day-old chicks, which typically refers to poultry aged less than 72 hours. During the first few days of their lives, day-old chicks take in nutrients from their yolk sacs, nutrients which ensure a smooth life during transport. In a longer transport, nutrients and water can be supplemented in the form of a gel, and there usually is some left even after 72 hours.

Proposal for a regulation

Annex I – Chapter V – point 2 – point 2.2 – point d

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(d) 10 hours for end-of-lay hens including the loading and unloading time.(d) 12 hours excluding the loading and unloading time for the transport of live poultry to other holdings. This transport time may be extended to 24 hours if the poultry receive a hydrating and nutritional gel after 12 hours. This transport time may be extended to 36 hours for poultry intended for small farms with fewer than 3 000 birds.

Or. fr

Justification

Amendement de repli. Si la durée maximale de transport des animaux était inférieure à 12 heures, cela signifierait que certains producteurs de volailles ne pourraient pas légalement envoyer leurs poules à l'abattoir sans dépasser cette durée maximale de transport. La seule option pour les producteurs sera de tuer les oiseaux sur place. Cela est contraire aux objectifs de l'UE en matière de durabilité environnementale et économique. Et cela conduirait aussi à la disparition d'exploitations trop périphériques et surtout à une concentration des exploitations à proximité des abattoirs, avec les conséquences suivantes : dégradation de l'environnement (concentration des nutriments, artificialisation des sols, etc.), augmentation des risques sanitaires et de résilience en cas d'épidémie majeure, tensions sociales : fermetures de certaines exploitations, difficultés de relocalisation, problèmes d'acceptabilité des exploitations, etc, dégradation du tissu économique et territorial des zones les plus éloignées. En adaptant les règles de transport aux besoins spécifiques des éleveurs et de certaines volailles rurales, cette nouvelle proposition garantit plutôt une transition en douceur des volailles entre les fermes d'élevage et les fermes de production/adultes, tout en respectant le bien-être et en s'alignant sur les spécificités pratiques des volailles rurales.
