?:abstract
  • More than 30 welfare organisations have signed a letter demanding that all live exports from EU countries to non-EU countries stop completely and movements within the EU be limited to a maximum of eight hours Since Covid-19 movement restrictions were introduced early last month some European countries have closed or partially closed their borders ‘Insisting on continued transport of animals between member states and to non-EU countries despite the increased delays and enforcement difficulties resulting from Covid-19 and the increased difficulty in non-EU importing countries in achieving compliance with OIE welfare standards pays no regard to animal welfare, rather than the “full regard” required by Article 13 [of the TFEU],’ the letter’s signatories stated BVA senior vice president Simon Doherty said: ‘Any movement of livestock will have an impact on their health and welfare and in the first instance, animals should be slaughtered as close as possible to where they are reared, and should not be exported to countries with unknown welfare standards
