Under Europa-Parlamentets behandling af det pågældende forslag under mødeperioden i oktober, hvor Sirkka-Liisa Anttila var ordfører, blev det fastslået, at ydelsen af eksportrestitutioner for eksport af levende dyr skal gøres betinget af, at dyrevelfærdsbestemmelserne i fællesskabslovgivningen overholdes, navnlig bestemmelserne om beskyttelse af dyr under transport.
The proposal debated in the European Parliament during the October plenary session, for which Mrs Antilla was rapporteur, stipulates that in the case of exports of live animals, the payment of the export refund shall be subject to compliance with the provisions established in Community legislation concerning animals welfare and, in particular, the protection of animals during transport.
