Report on animal welfare
Impacts on:• Welfare of animals taking into account scientific
evidence• Trade flows of live animals and in particular socio-
economic implications, including regional aspects• the implementation of the navigation system• + Enforcement

Impacts on Economics
• No effects on trade flows• No regional effects• No direct socio-economic effects, but possibly
negative due to lack of harmonised implementation on:• Administrative costs• Costs for updating vehicles

Impacts on Animal Welfare 1
• Areas of improvements• + Better vehicles• + Increased awareness of transporters
• But areas of enforcement to be improved• Scientific base outdated in certain areas

Impacts on Animal Welfare 3
• Official checks to be improved or increased:• Before journeys: unrealistic journey logs• During journeys• After journeys: Penalties, navigation systems
• Unequal implementation of the EU legislation does not ensure a level playing field for operators

Impacts on Animal Welfare 4
• Navigation systems:• Not sufficiently used to improve official checks• Not sufficiently used to reduce administrative
burden

Impacts on Animal Welfare 5
• Scientific opinion from EFSA• Journey times are not in line with scientific
evidence in particular for horses• Space allowances would need to be revised
![Page 11: 7 June 2012 Animal Transport in the European Union UECBV 7 June 2012 Agneta Norgren Animal Welfare Unit – DG SANCO.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071807/56649e885503460f94b8c8a7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

SUMMARY
• Poor enforcement by operators in certain areas• Insufficient checks by officials• Full potential of navigation systems to be
developed• Journey times and space not fully in line with
scientific opinion

Navigation systems – Article 6.9Member States’ checks – Article 27.1Communication – Article 24 Guidance and guidelines – Article 29
PRIORITY TO PRACTICAL ENFORCEMENT RATHER THAN PROPOSING NEW RULES
