Deputy Robert O'Donoghue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the position Ireland is taking on the Commission’s proposed EFSA-based allometric approach to space allowances in the context of negotiations on revising the EU Animal Transport Regulation; if Ireland supports retaining species and category-specific k-values without reducing allowances for shorter journeys, applying the same science-based approach regardless of journey duration and using the allometric equation across the full weight range, including animals under 25 kg, to ensure sufficient space for balance, posture and, where appropriate, rest.
