- (4) Where transport of pigs by road is carried out by a means of transport that is equipped with automatic feeding, watering and mechanical ventilation facilities and where this form of vehicle has been approved for such transport by the Minister, the pigs may continue the journey provided for in subparagraph (3) for a second and final period of 24 hours after a rest period of 2 hours. In such cases, watering stops will not be required.
- (5) In the case of transport by sea in a road vehicle connecting two geographical points in the Community, a rest period of 12 hours shall be provided after the animals are unloaded at or near the port of destination, unless the period of sea transport forms part of the general plan set out in subparagraphs (1) to (3). In any event, animals shall be watered as provided for in subparagraphs (1) to (3).
- (6) The transport periods provided for in subparagraphs (1), (2), (3) and (4) may be extended by two hours in the interests of the animals, taking account in particular of proximity to the point of destination.

Failure to comply with this provision may result in the refusal by an inspector to stamp and sign, in accordance with Article 10 (1) (f), the route plan accompanying such animals.
