Protection of animals: protection of calves kept for farming purposes (repeal. Directive 91/629/EEC). Codification

2006/0097(CNS)

PURPOSE : codification of the directive laying down minimum standards for the protection of  calves

PROPOSED ACT : Council Directive.

CONTENT : The purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Council Directive 91/629/EEC laying down minimum standards for the protection of calves. The new Directive will supersede the various acts incorporated in it; this proposal fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bringing them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.
