Animal ethics is about much more than mere rules. It is about attitudes and knowledge of animals and about how animals must feel well. Nonetheless, it is very important that the legislation and rules of both the EU and, especially, the Member States are followed. On 8 March, the Greens held a conference on animal welfare here in Parliament, at which, I am pleased to say, Margareta Winberg was also present.

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, animals are being transported the length and breadth of Europe under terrible conditions without anyone intervening. The provisions that exist on the transport of live animals are well known, for example, the limits on time in transport and requirements of veterinary certificates.

The Council too has also stated that the transport of live animals must cease..."@en1
