lpv:translated text	". Animals are not products. They are living creatures whose well-being we must aim to protect. Given the many cases of abuse during the long-haul transport of animals for slaughter, this transport should be abolished. We have not got there yet, although the Commission measures are heading in the right direction, with the restriction on distance of 500 km and a maximum duration of 8 hours. This will also help reduce the risk of spreading animal diseases. That is why we have approved the report. To date, the Commission has actually promoted this long-haul transport with its subsidy policy. Similarly, the policy that has led to the disappearance of small slaughterhouses, including in remote areas, has had pernicious effects. This policy should therefore be reviewed as a matter of urgency. A great deal will depend on the policy of the Member States that have so far been very negligent, among other things by inadequately monitoring compliance with the animal welfare directives."@en1
