Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

under closer scrutiny as trading standards officers in England, France and Spain pledge to target law-breaking hauliers more closely.

Next month trading standards officers from Hampshire and Normandy meet to agree methods of closer co-operation. Hampshire officers also hope to forge new links with the authorities in Bilbao in Spain. The officers decided to act because they fear the loss of border controls throughout the EU has reduced their enforcement capabilities.

Notice of next month's meeting comes as public opinion against livestock hauliers is stirred up again by the possible death of up to 39 sheep on a Portsmouth to Le Havre crossing. Investigations into a Hereford and Worcester livestock haulier are continuing after passengers on a P&O ferry complained of "obnoxious smells" from the sheep trailer. The driver was thought to be heading towards the middle of France.
