On April 23, 2015, the Court of Justice of the European Union (the Court) ruled [3] in Zuchtvieh-Export GmbH v Stadt Kempten that requirements relating to animal protections during transportation extend beyond the boundaries of the European Union (EU).  According to the press release [4], in the case of animal transportation between member states and third countries, the organizer must submit a journey log to the competent authority at the place of departure that details the travel plan and “indicates that the provisions of the regulation will be complied with, including for the stages of the journey taking place outside the EU.”  It must also “show that the planned transport will observe, inter alia, the technical rules on watering and feeding intervals and journey times and resting periods.”
