A call for evidence on controlling live exports for slaughter and to improve animal welfare during transport after the UK leaves the EU

Closed 22 May 2018

Opened 10 Apr 2018

Overview

This call for evidence seeks views and information on all aspects of animal welfare in transport.  Once the UK has left the EU, we would like the welfare in transport regulatory regime to reflect scientific and veterinary knowledge. This evidence will help us determine how we’ll meet the commitment to take early steps to control the export of live farm animal for slaughter.
