    WRITTEN QUESTION E-0595/99

    by Ian White (PSE) to the Commission

    (12 March 1999)

    Subject: Transport of live animals

    France, Greece, Italy and Portugal are reported in the RSPCA Magazine "Animal Issues" as having failed to implement EU Directive (95/29/EC)(1)on the transport of live animals. What is the position and what action is the Commission taking to ensure that there is strict compliance with European Union law?

    Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

    (8 April 1999)

    Greece, Italy and Portugal have notified national measures implementing Council Directive 95/29/EC of 29 June 1995 amending Directive 91/628/EEC concerning the protection of animals during transport.

    France has not fully implemented this Directive. This being the case, the Commission has not discontinued the infringement proceedings instituted pursuant to Article 169 of the EC Treaty against France for failure to notify the necessary measures to implement the Directive.
