My last official task as ANIT Committee Press chair: opening the final vote on the report & recommendations.

Now we have to convince the majority of European Parliament by January that we need stricter rules to better protect animals - including a general maximum transport time limit of 8h!

With one laughing and one crying eye, I look forward to the last ANIT Committee Press meeting starting at 16:45.

So much important input and impressions we got from experts during hearings and missions, so many interesting exchanges we had with the members.
