Question 15719 — animals

Summary

Mr. Pierrick Courbon draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture, Agri-Food and Food Sovereignty to the situation of structures specializing in veterinary emergency equine transport. These structures intervene at the request of veterinarians, equine clinics or during equestrian competitions and events to ensure the care, recovery, securing and transport of injured horses or seriously injured to appropriate care structures. These interventions require specific technical skills, specialized lifting and transport equipment, as well as close coordination with veterinary professionals. The operators concerned also have administrative and health authorizations such as CAPTAV and approvals issued by the departmental veterinary services. However, the EC Regulation No. 1/2005 appears to provide for certain exclusions or adaptations for transport directly linked to veterinary care or emergencies, particularly in paragraph 5. Despite this, these activities remain faced with a lack of precise regulatory clarification. This situation leads to significant legal uncertainty for specialized structures, exposed to divergent interpretations concerning their status. and the conditions for carrying out their activity. This regulatory fragility could, in the long term, lead to the gradual disappearance of technical means and skills necessary for the management of equine accidents and complex medical transport. He therefore asks whether the Government intends to clarify the legal framework applicable to veterinary emergency equine transport or to consider regulatory developments. allowing this activity to be explicitly recognized as contributing to the continuity of emergency veterinary care and the protection of animal welfare.
