§ Mr. HancockTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food which EU countries have implemented EU directive 95/29/EC on live animal transport; and what representations he has made to those which have not. [65735]
§ Mr. MorleyBy the end of 1998, the majority of Member States had implemented the Directive. The crucial point, with live exports from Great Britain in mind, is enforcement of the rules on the ground. We repeatedly remind the other Member States concerned of their responsibilities in this respect.
