Under current rules, pigs can be transported for 24 hours non-stop and sheep and cattle for 29 hours with just a one-hour break.

  • Under current rules, pigs can be transported for 24 hours non-stop and sheep and cattle for 29 hours with just a one-hour break.
  • This would still allow the cruel and unnecessary long-distance transportation of live animals to countries in which the EU has no means to ensure that animal welfare standards are respected.
  • Longer transports, exports of live animals and transports by sea need to be banned altogether, says Pierre Sultana, Director of the European Policy Office at FOUR PAWS.
  • There was much talking about live export while I was in third countries seeing no change at all in how European animals are being treated.

Key Points: 
  • Press release 23/03/2021 | Rural development; Agriculture
    At the start of the" Rural Vision Week ", members of the Committee of the Regions (CoR) have expressed concern that rural areas may benefit less from the European Union's plans to help rebuild a post-COVID-19 Europe that is greener, more digital and more resilient.
  • The following statement, which was adopted by the members during the meeting of the CoR's Commission for Natural Resources (NAT), is supported by the European Parliament's Intergroup on Rural, Mountainous and Remote Areas & Smart Villages, which stronglyrejects any plan that does not follow the partnership principle and associates rural areas in the drafting.
  • A clear strategy is needed to avoid recovery plans worsening the gap between lagging rural communities and urban areas accelerating towards sustainability and digitalisation.
