Protection of animals during transport (amend. direct. 91/628/EEC)

The Council again addressed the sensitive problem of the protection of animals during transport. For this purpose it had the Presidency compromise drawn up and examined at the February meeting as a basis for its discussion. During the discussion the Commission made some suggestions for technical improvements to the Presidency compromise, which the Council intends to examine. Winding up, the President appealed to all delegations to make an effort so that the Council could reach a Decision at a future meeting.
