The European Commission is proposing changes to the rules for the transport of livestock and farm animals, including requirements for rest, food, water, and adapting containers to meet animals' needs. There will also be special rules for animals destined for slaughter and the use of digital technologies to track their movement and condition in real time. The reforms are expected to improve the well-being of 1.6 billion animals moved within and outside the European Union, and the Commission also supports a ban on the keeping and slaughter of animals for fur production within the EU.
