Chapter 2, § 12. The paragraph on freedom of movement concerning the tying together of body parts, etc. is amended so that it applies irrespective of where the animal is kept and not only during grazing, as is currently the case. However, tying body parts together is permitted for treatment purposes if this is necessary to prevent injury and suffering.

Chapter 5, § 9. New regulations are introduced regarding the measurements of pens with moving floors.
