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 ...

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. To protect their welfare during those journeys, the EU adopted Regulation 1/2005 on the protection of animals during transport. An evaluation of the regulation showed that, when correctly implemented and enforced, it had a positive impact on the welfare of animals. However, in some areas weaknesses still persist ...

Cette étude vise à examiner les pratiques en matière de bien-être des animaux pendant le transport dans et vers les pays tiers. Elle compare les pratiques, les lignes directrices et les outils employés par les principaux partenaires commerciaux avec les normes européennes ou en vigueur dans l’Union. Elle contient également des recommandations politiques concrètes sur la manière d’améliorer la législation actuelle de l’Union sur le bien-être animal pendant le transport.

L’évaluation de la mise en oeuvre européenne du règlement (CE) n° 1/2005 d’octobre 2018 a montré que le transport d’animaux non sevrés sur de longues distances et la détermination de l’état de gestation des animaux vivants constituaient deux des questions les plus importantes n’ayant pas encore été résolues.

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.

En septembre 2014, la Commission européenne a présenté un ensemble de trois propositions pour actualiser le cadre législatif applicable aux médicaments vétérinaires. Ces propositions visent à durcir les règles pour combattre la résistance aux antimicrobiens et améliorer la disponibilité des médicaments vétérinaires dans l’Union. Le Parlement européen devrait voter au cours de la période de session d’octobre II sur les textes qui ont fait l’objet d’un accord lors des négociations en trilogue.

Aquaculture means the rearing of aquatic animals and the cultivation of aquatic plants and algae. 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. ...

Sheep and goats grazing on meadows in the countryside are part of the landscape and cultural heritage of many European countries. They are a source of employment in disadvantaged agricultural areas and the high-quality traditional products they yield are broadly recognised as the result of a sustainable and multifunctional form of agriculture that contributes to preserving the environment and social cohesion in rural areas. Yet, the EU sheep and goat sector has been experiencing economic and structural ...
