lpv:translated text	". This regulation concerns animal welfare, but is underpinned by various economic and national interests, with the meat sector generating many millions of euros, and the Commission’s apparent confusion and the changes in legislation are symptomatic of this. Compulsory unloading for rest causes the animals stress and can spread diseases, such as foot-and-mouth. Long journeys for animals must be reduced as far as possible, especially for transport to the slaughterhouse, for veterinary and animal welfare reasons, on the one hand, and for reasons of economic development, on the other. It makes no sense to export or import live animals for slaughter, when the meat or the carcass could be exported, which would ensure that much of the added value would stay in the region in which they were reared, thereby generating jobs and improving product quality. This policy has been undermined, both by the systematic closure of local slaughterhouses and their replacement by larger, centralised facilities, and by the lack of support for mobile abattoirs. Travelling times to the slaughterhouse must be reduced as far as possible and international transport for slaughter must be banned completely. We must also implement a harmonised framework, with travelling time limits for transporting animals for other purposes. We are not satisfied with the report before us."@en1
