". – Concerning the first part of your supplementary question as to whether it might be appropriate to phase out the livestock markets altogether, the position is that for some farm species this is a necessary marketing tool. There are long traditions in relation to the sale and marketing of animals in this way. Their use derives from historic and socio-economic reasons that cannot be ignored by a simple ban.
However, I agree that in addressing this issue in the context of Community legislation, we are looking at it in connection with the animal transport legislation we are working on at the moment. I fully agree that this issue is not just relevant to animals under transport, but to all animals. Nonetheless, it is in the context of that legislation that we are looking at the issue. As I indicated a moment ago, it is important to ensure that there is proper training of staff who handle animals, not only in the context of transport but generally. This is one of the objectives that will be contained in the legislation currently being drafted."@en1
