Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
1. For short journeys within the Union, organisers shall complete in TRACES the journey log as set out in point 2 of Annex III.1. For short journeys between Member States and to third countries, organisers shall complete in TRACES the animal health certificate as set out in Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council on transmissible animal diseases ('Animal Health Law')

Or. en

Justification

The animal health certificate is already mandatory to transport animals between Member States under the Animal Health Law and requires information related to the operators, transporters, means of transport, type and numbers of animals transported, place of departure and place of destination. In addition, the animal health certificate has to be uploaded in TRACES. The simplified journey log proposed by the Commission is requiring the same information. To avoid double reporting and increase the administrative burden, we suggest replacing the requirement to fulfil a simplified journey log as proposed by the Commission by providing a valid animal health certificate.

Or. en

Justification

It is overly bureaucratic to enter every short-distance transport into the TRACES system digitally, especially within the same member state. Not all farmers have digital skills, and the current TRACES system is too complex and would need to be simplified. A practical solution for carrying the logbook, independent of the TRACES system, is to be provided. Established livestock movement certificates, which already cover the content of the transport documents, are currently in use. Currently, for transports between member states, the official veterinarian is required to create and process the transport in the TRACES system anyway (including short distances). In the interest of reducing bureaucracy, the established system of animal transport documents should be retained.

Justification

The compulsory use of the TRACES electronic registration system and all its requirements even for short domestic journeys at this stage seems a disproportionate administrative burden, especially for small local operators. Most slaughterhouses already have digital systems in place that are used for logging journeys, and they would all have to communicate with TRACES directly to make this work. We suggest that if TRACES is to be used for logging journeys, it should be mandatory only for cross-border transport, according the rules of the Animal Health Law.

Justification

Including all journeys in TRACES would be an unnecessary increase of bureaucracy with no impact on animal welfare. The number of new users and journeys in the TRACES system would be immense. Most slaughterhouses already have digital systems in place that are used for logging journeys, and they would all have to communicate with TRACES directly to make this work. It would be extremely complex and expensive for all parties involved.

2. Loading of animals on means of transport shall be supervised by a veterinarian.2. A veterinarian needs to have prior access to planned animal transport data for supervision purposes and random inspections.

Or. en

Justification

There are not enough veterinarians even to provide veterinary care in remote farming areas, or one that could be present every time animals are loaded to a vehicle or unloaded. Therefore producers and transporters are able and capable of loading and

unloading animals to the same high standard. Official supervision of loading and unloading of animals should be done based on a risk assessment, according to a control plan by the local competent authorities, adjusted to local circumstances.

3. For transport by road or rail, the transporter shall entrust the handling of animals to drivers and attendants who have the certificate of competence referred to in Article 38.3. For transport by road or rail, the transporter shall entrust the handling of animals to attendants who have the certificate of competence referred to in Article 38.

Or. es

Justification

The driver of the lorry or train is partially covered by this regulation, unless he or she is designated as attendant by the transporter of the animals as laid down in Article 18(4)(b). Therefore, he or she would exercise the role of driver-attendant, and all these obligations are associated with the role of attendant, not driver. It should be clarified in the text that the welfare obligations are the responsibility of the attendant, as defined and laid down in Article 3(13).

Or. en

Justification

Inspecting animals every 4.5 hours during transport to evaluate their welfare and suitability for travel presents challenges in practicality, especially for certain species like poultry, which are loaded in transport crates, making individual assessments difficult. Additionally, there are logistical concerns about how these inspections would be implemented. Would the truck need to stop and inspect the animals individually each time, further extending the journey time? It’s essential to clarify whether alternative methods, such as using cameras in the loading area, could fulfil the inspection requirements.

Or. fr

Justification

Fallback amendment. Because of the sheer number of animals in transport and the fact that they are housed in containers, it is not technically possible to separate sick or injured animals during transport. Furthermore, doing so would be a time-consuming procedure and increase the journey time as a result. This is at odds with the objectives of this regulation. This provision would also be to the detriment of ducklings and goslings, whose specially designed containers would have to be opened during the journey in order to verify their condition. Doing so would expose these animals to rapid temperature decreases and external contamination.

Or. fr

Justification

The transporter would not be able to fulfil the requirement laid down in the original text, as he or she is not present during the journey. The driver or attendant is responsible at this stage. It is virtually impossible to attend to poultry or rabbits during the journey, as they are transported in specially designed crates or containers. This equipment is designed to be securely fastened to the vehicle during transport, and cannot be opened by accident. Rabbits and poultry can therefore not be isolated during the journey. The general approach is already set out in Article 4(2)(b), namely to ensure that only those animals fit enough for the entire journey are loaded for transport.

Amendment: Text proposed by the Commission and Amendment

Means of transport positioning systemsMeans of transport positioning systems for long journeys

Or. en

Justification

The requirement to document every journey with real-time data in the TRACES system would lead to a disproportionate increase in bureaucracy, especially with regard to short journeys. Transport vehicles, especially for animal transport involving short journeys in small-scale agricultural operations, are typically used only sporadically. Equipping these vehicles, mostly trailers, with a tracking system is technically challenging, and ensuring the system's functionality is time-consuming. A distinction in the requirements between long-distance and short-distance transport is necessary.

This provision needlessly implicates road transporters, who already have to operate under a specific monitoring and tracing system: TRACES. Since 1 January 2005, this system has served as the single compulsory point of reference for all Member States for the purposes of identifying and monitoring the transport of animals and animal products in accordance with established veterinary standards. Furthermore, since 2023, all lorries have been fitted with smart tachographs (version two). As well as journey times, rest periods for drivers and driving conditions (e.g. speed and distance travelled), these devices also record border crossings and loading and unloading operations.

Justification

Each animal transport operation already has to be recorded. The data obtained from this enables the authorities to carry out checks and penalise any breaches accordingly. This requirement is therefore unnecessary and would serve only to increase the administrative burden. Monitoring animal transport in real time and in a transparent fashion would require each competent authority to have sufficient staff, which existing documentation practices would seem to render unnecessary.

Justification

While digitalisation and simplification are important objectives, it is crucial to ensure that this legislative proposal does not leave operators liable to face additional administrative burdens. This proposal underestimates the burden of the not inconsiderable IT roll-outs that would undoubtedly be needed. Therefore, before requiring people to use new digital tools, it is vital to ensure that they are feasible since not all rural areas have decent internet coverage – and some none at all. Moreover, not all professionals have the technical equipment they need to use and complete forms online and in real time.

Or. en

Justification

The compulsory use of the TRACES electronic registration system and all its requirements even for short domestic journeys at this stage seems a disproportionate administrative burden, especially for small local operators. Most slaughterhouses already have digital systems in place that are used for logging journeys, and they would all have to communicate with TRACES directly to make this work. We suggest that if TRACES is to be used for logging journeys, it should be mandatory only for cross-border transport, according the rules of the Animal Health Law.

1. For the purposes of Article 25(1), the driver or attendant and the keeper at the place of destination shall assess the condition of terrestrial animals on arrival using the following indicators:1. Except where the animals are transported in containers, for the purposes of Article 25(1), the attendant and the keeper at the place of destination shall assess the condition of terrestrial animals on arrival using the following indicators:

Or. es

Justification

Animals in containers cannot be assessed by the attendant. In the case of animals sent for slaughter, this would require the attendants to be present for unloading in the slaughter area. The obligation for the attendant to check the condition of the animals on arrival should be removed in the case of animals transported in containers. This check must be carried out by the keeper at the place of destination.

When the results of the analysis indicates that the requirements of Article 4 have not been met or when values quantifying the indicators exceed the thresholds established by the Commission in accordance with paragraph 5, they shall take corrective actions.3. The organisers and the transporter shall monitor operations during transport. They may not be held responsible for unforeseen circumstances attributable to external causes that are liable to increase the journey time, nor may they be held responsible if any sections of the route are exposed to changing weather conditions between the point of departure and point of arrival. If they are able to do so, they shall take the requisite action based on the means at their disposal during the journey.

Or. fr

Justification

Transporters compose their routes while taking account of any obstacles that they are likely encounter along the way, which may have a bearing on the scheduled route or journey time. They cannot comply with ‘requirements’, ‘values’, ‘thresholds’ or any other purely theoretical ‘indicators’, which are a far cry from actual driving conditions and the unforeseen circumstances these may occasion.

These rules should be relaxed and accordingly brought into line with the social rights of drivers laid down in Regulation (EC) No 561/2006.
