MEPs voted today (Thursday 20/1) on a range of proposals to improve the transportation of live animals across the EU. The recommendations were made by a European Parliament Committee of Inquiry on the Protection of Animals during Transport.
They include rules to establish limits on journey time for all animal species and ages and the ban of the transportation of very young animals under the age of 35 days.
Well Fianna Fail MEP Billy Kelleher sat on that Committee. In the following interview he talks to EuroParlRadio editor Karen Coleman about its proposals.
