Transport
Since EU Member States could not find agreement on a revision of existing maximum travelling times and animal stocking densities on vehicles, the European Commission agreed that these two issues will be the subject of a further separate proposal to be presented not later than 4 years after the entry into force of the Regulation and to be prepared in the light of the outcomes of enforcement of the new rules by the Member States. The Regulation will enter into force by 2007.
