Review of the medicated feed legislation
In 2014, the Commission presented a proposal for a regulation on medicated feed with the aim to update and harmonise rules that dated from 1990 and were laid out in a directive. Patchy national implementation was causing difficulties for producers, animal holders and the single market. Due to the strong correlation between the proposal on medicated feed and the draft regulation on veterinary medicinal products, legislative work on both acts was being coordinated to assure consistency between their ...
Protection of animals during transport: Guidelines and research
Each year, millions of live animals are transported by road, sea, rail and air within, and to or from, the European Union, for a number of reasons, such as slaughter, fattening or breeding.

In der europäischen Folgenabschätzung von Oktober 2018 zur Verordnung (EG) 1/2005 wurde darauf hingewiesen, dass der Langstreckentransport nicht abgesetzter Tiere und die Bestimmung des Trächtigkeitsstadiums von Lebendtieren zwei der größten noch ungelösten Probleme sind.
EU trade and transport of live animals
Every year, millions of live animals are transported within and outside European Union (EU) territory for trade purposes. EU legislation regulates the protection of animals during transport, but reports of breaches of the rules and accidents raise doubts on the transport of live animals and have rekindled the debate on the need to improve the current legislation.
Tierarzneimittel-Paket
Die Europäische Kommission legte im September 2014 ein Paket mit drei Vorschlägen vor, mit denen der Rechtsrahmen für Tierarzneimittel auf den neuesten Stand gebracht werden soll. Durch die strengeren Vorschriften sollen Resistenzen gegen antimikrobielle Wirkstoffe bekämpft und die Verfügbarkeit von Tierarzneimitteln in der EU verbessert werden. In der Oktober-II-Plenartagung soll das Europäische Parlament über die Texte abstimmen, auf die man sich in den Trilogverhandlungen geeinigt hat.
Aquaculture in the EU

While, at global level, this industry has undergone significant growth for several decades, in the EU, aquaculture production, focused on the farming of fish and shellfish for human consumption, is rather stagnating. Subject to diverse EU policies, such as environmental protection or animal and consumer health, the development of aquaculture largely depends on measures taken by national authorities. ...

Yet, the EU sheep and goat sector has been experiencing economic and structural ...
