1.
For each journey, the person responsible for the transport of the animals shall be identified so that information on the organisation, carrying out and completion of the transport can be obtained at any time during the journey.
2.
Where the intended journey time exceeds eight hours for the transport of domestic solipeds and domestic animals of the bovine, ovine, caprine and porcine species, the person responsible for the transport shall draw up a document specifying the arrangements foreseen for the journey and in particular the following details:
- a.
identification of the transporter and means of transport;
- b.
identification of the consignment and accompanying documents (animal species, number of animals, veterinary certificates);
- c.
the place and country of departure, places of transfer, places where animals are to be unloaded and rested and the place and country of destination.
3.
The person responsible for the transport shall ensure that the intended journey complies with the respective rules of the countries of departure, transit and destination.
4.
The person in charge of the welfare of the animals shall immediately record in the document mentioned in paragraph 2 the times and places at which the animals transported have been fed, watered and rested during the journey. This document shall be made available to the competent authority upon request.
5.
No animal shall be transported unless suitable provisions are made in advance by the person responsible for the transport to safeguard its welfare throughout the journey. Where appropriate, arrangements shall be made to provide water, feed and rest, and any necessary care during the journey and on arrival at the place of destination, and to that end, appropriate notification shall be given in advance.
6.
To avoid any delay, consignments of animals shall be accompanied by appropriate documentation and, at posts where importation and transit formalities have to be completed, an appropriate person shall be notified as early as possible.
7.
The person responsible for the transport shall ensure that responsibility for the welfare of the animals during transport is clearly defined, from the time of departure to arrival at the point of destination, including loading and unloading.
