It is with a great matter of course that I support the 8hours initiative. We can not defend that EU legislation allows for animals to be transported under cramped and unbearable conditions for several days. The transportation time should not exceed 8 hours. I have already put a pressure on the EU Commission in order to stop the unacceptable animal transport.

Jeg støtter med stor selvfølgelighed 8hours-initiativet. Vi kan ikke forsvare, at EU's lovgivning tillader, at dyr transporteres under trange og ulidelige forhold i flere dage. Transporttiden for levende dyr bør ikke overstige 8 timer. Jeg har allerede lagt pres på Kommissionen for at komme den uaccepterede dyretransport til livs.
