Following the European Commission's call for feedback on its proposed revision of the Live Animal Transport Regulation in December, FOUR PAWS has shared comprehensive feedback on this important issue.  

FOUR PAWS highlights that despite some improvements, such as limitation to journey times, increased space allowances, slightly higher requirements for the minimum age of unweaned animals, the attempt to favour measures aiming at replacing live transport with transport of carcasses and meat, and specific requisites for the transport of dogs and cats, the European Commission’s proposal of 7 December 2023 is inadequate and does not address the core problems from which animals suffer during transport.
