lpv:translated text	"− I voted in favour of this report because the Commission Communication on the Strategy for the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2012-2015 is much needed, especially as it contains many aspects of Parliament’s Resolution of 5 May 2010. The state of health of wild animals is deteriorating, while their numbers in the majority of Member States are increasing. This could increase the spread of contagious diseases to domestic animals and, at the same time, have an adverse effect on public health. The complexity and differing interpretations of EU and national rules on animal welfare create legal uncertainty. This can put producers in certain Member States at a serious competitive disadvantage. Furthermore, with regard to the implementation of EU law, non-compliance with set requirements, and the absence of harmonised standards and interim targets approved by legislation distorts competition and it is impossible to guarantee a level playing field for all market participants. Animal health standards are of vital importance for developing livestock farming in Europe, and this has an ever-increasing impact on the competitiveness of agricultural holdings. In addition, rules on animal welfare must not be contrary to the principles of the EU single market. If we use this Communication on the Strategy for the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2012-2015 properly, we will be able to achieve a clear and uniform level of animal welfare throughout the European Union."@en1
