Recommendations: Animal protection during transport
This procedure follows an investigation into how EU laws protecting animals during transport are being applied. It aims to address reports of maladministration and failures to enforce welfare standards for animals moved both within the EU and to non-EU countries.
The findings will affect transport operators, veterinary services, and national authorities responsible for enforcing animal welfare laws to ensure higher standards of care.
