And politics has played its full hand in that . UK Politics and European Politics, share the joint blame in this. Currently The Dutch Livestock Transporter submits a Journey log approval to DEFRA( WIT) Welfare in Transit. But that journey log bears little relationship to what actually happens to the livestock en route. As the Livestock Transporters claim that a DUTCH Court ruling based upon government revenue claims allows them to use the Dutch "Interbove" ruling . This ruling it is claimed , but so far I have seen neither any DUTCH or UK regulatory authority confirmation that under this ruling the Channel crossing using a Latvian registered Barge, permits NONE of crossing time to be counted towards total journey time and again channel crosssing is permitted to be counted as Animal rest time. Under the EU regulations adopted by the UK any time on a RO-RO barge is not permitted to be counted as Animal rest time. And all RO-RO barge time is counted in total towards journey time. WIT (UK) will not authorise any Journey Log submitted penned outside of the EU/UK regulations. Hence the Transporters submit an approval under that EU/UK regulation, but the Journey undertaken by them differs significantly from the data upon which the UK regulatory authority approved the journey. WIT have indicated that if the Livestock Transporter submitted in the UK what he intended to do en route then that journey would not be approved. Start from there and follow it with much other questionable data from these transporters and you in my view have significant system abuse involving live animals . The Politics of the UK has not in my view ensured that the Journey Log approval by DEFRA/WIT is complied with , in fact it is rubber stamping the JL knowing that it is not being conformed with en route . Leaving the EU will not stop this trade but will in theory allow much less control over the complete logistics operation . AS NOW. <br />It is time to find out what is actually happening to the livestock throughout. the other areas which need looking at include HGV excess driving hours and the actual destinations and position of the transporters . My own view is that Transporters have claimed to be at an unloading destination when their Transporter is at the same time recorded as being elsewhere . Time to stop pushing for Brexit , but to find out what is actually happening throughout this Transport operation. And do not trust any of the politicians who claim they may arrive at different UK Port operation regulations. The money has been neatly pocketed by the Transporter companies and nobody has looked closely enough and what Politics has not been doing in the UK. Am I suggesting that this operation has been carried out illegally ? in part yes, and in part using loopholes and miss information.
