Forbuddet gælder ikke for forsendelser kun med transit gennem Ungarn, herunder 1 times stop for vanding.
Forbuddet gælder således forsendelser med afgangssted i Ungarn, og forsendelser, der skal holde 24 timers hvil på kontrolsteder i Ungarn, og derefter afgå via Bulgarien til Tyrkiet, eller evt. videre via Tyrkiet.
Vær opmærksom på, at forbuddet kan have konsekvenser for forsendelser af drøvtyggere fra Danmark, der på nuværende tidspunkt, og indtil forbuddet ophæves, befinder sig på, eller sendes til kontrolsteder i Ungarn. Det kan evt. besluttes af de ungarske myndigheder, at dyr på kontrolsteder skal forblive der indtil forbuddet hæves.
Forbuddet er gældende fra d. 21. august 2023
Information sendes ud, når de ungarske myndigheder har hævet forbuddet.
Den originale besked fra de ungarske myndigheder:
Temporary ban on live animal transports of ruminants over long journeys due to extreme heat
In view of the extreme temperatures predicted in Bulgaria over the coming days, for reasons of animal welfare Hungary revives the temporary ban on live animal transport of ruminants over long journeys by road departing from Hungary toward Turkey going through Bulgaria (either as a transit or final destination). The ban will be effective from 21 August 2023 until further notice.
During this period consignments arriving to Hungarian control posts from other member states will also not be allowed to continue their journey toward Bulgaria (unless the transport vehicle is equipped with an air conditioning system capable of active cooling). Consequently, please do not plan to rest in Hungary over the following days, otherwise the consignments might be delayed for days.
(Transports to other destinations are allowed to continue their journey from Hungarian control posts. However, in case the temperature is predicted to go beyond 30°C along the route, Hungarian local authorities are asked not to certify and start transports to other destinations either.)
