France's poultry industry organization is calling for the elimination of new European Union regulations governing live animal transportation. The group also wants exemptions from weekend trucking restrictions and higher weight limits for animal transport vehicles.
A major French poultry industry group is pushing back against new European Union regulations that govern how live animals are transported, calling for the rules to be completely eliminated.
Anvol, the organization representing France’s poultry sector, is making several demands to improve transportation conditions for their industry. Beyond scrapping the EU’s recently implemented animal transport legislation, the group is requesting special permission for poultry trucks to operate on Sundays and holidays, when commercial vehicle traffic is typically prohibited in France.
The organization is also advocating for increased weight allowances for trucks carrying live animals or animal-based products, pushing for a maximum gross vehicle weight of 33 tonnes instead of current limits.
These requests highlight ongoing tensions between animal welfare regulations and industry operational needs across Europe’s agricultural sector.
