Today’s #AnimalTransport inquiry committee has brought forward some very interesting and worrying circumstances. Caroline Rowley from @ethicalfarmIE once again stressed, that unweaned calves are simply not fit for long distance transport and breaches of EU-law are very common 1/5
When confronted with proof of serious infringements of regulation 1/2005 during sea transport by my colleague from the left @anjahazekamp, Dr. Cristina Bungardean, Romanian General Director for Official Controls simply denied any breaches despite the clear evidence 2/5
Following my question about poor air conditioning during transport Romain Bardy, CEO of @BardyBresse openly admitted that his company has in the past transported animals in conditions above 30 degrees even though there was no way of lowering the temperatures inside the trucks 3/5
Tea Dronjić from AWF repeated the demand for clear EU-wide standards for training of driver and veterinarians as well as the authorization of means of transport. All of this stresses the importance of imporvements in #AnimalTransport legislation to strenghten #AnimalWelfare 4/5
I am looking forward to the next hearing of the #ANIT committee in April where we will discuss in depth with the @EU_Commission the findings so far and renew our demand for a new #AnimalTransport Regulation with better #AnimalWelfare standards, tight controls and severe penalties
