Official Journal 174 E , 19/06/2001 P. 0154 - 0155
WRITTEN QUESTION E-3817/00 by Jeffrey Titford (EDD) to the Commission (7 December 2000) Subject: Transport of live animals How are the relevant Transport Directives being enforced with regard to the long distance transport of live animals? What is the European Commission doing to address the many representations it is receiving about the cruelty and suffering involved in the transport of live animals? What reports has the European Commission published on this subject since 1 January 1995? Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission (31 January 2001) The Commissions refers the Honourable Member to the reply to the Written Question E-3809/00 by Mr MacCormick(1). It should be noted that the Commission has fulfilled its obligation in relation to Article 13(3) of Council Directive 95/29/EC of 29 June 1995 amending Directive 90/628/EEC concerning the protection of animals during transport(2) which provides the Commission to submit a report on the experience acquired by Member States since the implementation of the Directive. Following the outcome of the report the process of amendment of Council Directive 91/628/EC of 19 November 1991 as amended(3), on the protection of animals during transport will be initiated with a particular consideration to improve the level of enforcement of Community legislation in this field.
