Transport of horses from Spain to Italy, 27.01.2006 Consequently the maximum journey time was already exceeded by 5 hours. The remaining distance to destination was 1.361 km. According to the drivers they planned to continue transport directly to destination, without unloading the horses for rest. No programmed staging point was indicated on the route plan. Therefore, it is very likely, that the transport was in fact carried out directly to destination. Given the remaining distance the remaining journey time was approx. 20 hours. This constitutes a violation of Art. 3 paragraph 1, lit. aa, second indent of Council Directive 91/628 EEC as amended by Council Directive 95/29 EC in connection with Chapter VII, point 4, lit c and point 5 of the Annex. 5. Exceeded loading density The lorry was overloaded by at least 4 horses. There was not enough room for the horses to lie down. Considering the length of the transport the space per horse should have been increased compared to the minimum requirements as stated in the table of Chapter VI, section A of Directive 91/628 EEC as amended, and not reduced. This constitutes a violation of Art. 3, paragraph 1, lit. a, first indent of Council Directive 91/628 EEC as amended by Council Directive 95/29 EC in connection with Chapter I, section A, point 2, lit. a and Chapter VI, section A of the Annex. 6. Transporter carried out transport without authorisation for the transport of livestock The company “Transportes Mazas LDA, 4920 Vilanova de Cerveira, Portugal“ was indicated as transport company on the route plan, as well as on the INTRA health certificate. This company does, however, not have an authorisation for the transport of livestock. This constitutes a violation of Art. 5, section A, paragraph 1, lit. a, ii, of Council Directive 91/628 EEC as amended by Council Directive 95/29 EC Christine Hafner Animals’ Angels ________________________________________________________________________ Place and date of report: Freiburg, 13.02.2006 © Copyright Animals’ Angels e.V. ........ 26
