The Protocol on the protection and welfare of animals annexed to the Amsterdam Treaty (1997) establishing the European Community requires that in formulating and implementing agriculture and transport policies, the Community and the Member States shall pay full regard to the welfare requirements of animals. In the field of animal welfare, transport has been, and still is today, cause of much controversy. Council Directive 91/628/EEC, amended by Directive 95/29/EC, constitutes the current Community legislative framework. In the light of experience gained under Directive 91/628/EEC at harmonising Community legislation on the transport of animals, and the difficulties encountered due to the diverse transposition of that Directive at national level, it was more appropriate to set out Community rules in this field in a regulation. In fact Council Regulations (EC) no. 97/1255, no 98/411 and no. 2005/1 were adopted subsequently to provide more detailed rules. This paper is aimed to review the current EU legislation affecting the animal transport.
附于建立欧洲共同体的《阿姆斯特丹条约》（1997年）的《动物保护与福利议定书》要求，共同体及成员国在制定和实施农业与运输政策时，应充分考虑动物的福利要求。在动物福利领域，运输一直以来且至今仍是诸多争议的源头。经第95/29/EC号指令修订的第91/628/EEC号理事会指令构成了当前的共同体立法框架。鉴于在第91/628/EEC号指令协调共同体关于动物运输的立法过程中所积累的经验，以及该指令在国家层面的不同转化所遇到的困难，在一项条例中规定该领域的共同体规则更为合适。事实上，随后通过了第97/1255号、第98/411号和第2005/1号理事会条例，以提供更详细的规则。本文旨在审查当前影响动物运输的欧盟立法。
