On Tuesday, July 15, 2025, a delegation of Filière cheval, EMHF and UET met with European Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi, in charge of health & animal welfare, to discuss the challenges faced by the equine sector in relation to the proposed regulation on the protection of animals during transport.

The meeting was attended by Olivier de Seyssel, President of Filière Cheval and Vice-President of the Société du Trotteur Français; Henri Pouret, Deputy CEO of France Galop and President of the European & Mediterranean Horseracing Federation; Peter Truzla, President of the Union Européenne du Trot ; and Tanguy Courtois, Head of Public Affairs.
This meeting, initiated by MEP Virginie Joron and held in the presence of Valérie Deloge and Gilles Pennelle, was an opportunity to share with the European Commissioner of the importance of taking into account the specific characteristics of the equine industry when considering future revisions to the animal transport legislation.
During the discussions, representatives reiterated the sector’s specific requests, namely:
The explicit inclusion of horse racing in the scope of exemptions provided for certain activities (training, equestrian and leisure sports), to avoid any ambiguity or divergent interpretation;
The introduction of a specific exemption for equine breeding and rearing activities, as well as for auction sales.
This visit to Brussels is part of a coordinated effort at both national and European levels with all stakeholders in the equine sector, to ensure that its specificities are fully considered in the development of public policies. This latest meeting forms part of a broader dialogue initiated from several years, which has led to constructive engagement with various stakeholders and political groups.
Really enjoyed reading this—there’s a lot here that feels practical without being overexplained. I like when a post keeps things clear and actually gives you something useful to think about afterward. After reading this, it reminded me of a Cursive Text Generator I came across recently when I was trying to make a few words look a little more polished for a small project. I didn’t expect to care much about that kind of tool, but it was kind of interesting seeing how a simple text change could make something feel more personal.
I found this article on pm kisan yojana very helpful. You have covered all the important aspects, including registration and benefits, which makes it a complete guide for farmers.
I really liked your explanation of School Education Portal 3.0. The content is very detailed and written in a simple language, which helps users easily understand how to use the portal for school-related tasks.
