CIWF welcomes collapse of animal transport talks 
27/04/2004 - 12:33:22 PM 

Compassion in World Farming has welcomed the collapse of EU negotiations on new regulations governing the transport of live animal exports. 

EU agriculture ministers failed to reach agreement on the regulations at a meeting in Brussels last night. 

The CIWF said it was relieved by the failure of the talks as the regulations put forward by the Irish presidency of the EU were crueller and more inhumane than the existing rules.
