"I voted in favour of the report on establishing an EU legal framework for the protection of pets and stray animals. At the moment, there is no EU legislation for the protection of pets and stray animals, despite the fact that the EU’s pet population is estimated at more than 100 million. Some pets and stray animals are victims of aggressive acts in many Members States, and petitioners mainly refer to Member States in southern and eastern Europe. I call on the European Union and Member States to ratify the European Convention for the Protection of Pet Animals and to transpose its provisions into national legal systems. We call on the Commission to table proposals for an EU legal framework for the protection of pets and stray animals, including rules for identifying and registering animals; stray animal management strategies, including vaccination and sterilisation programmes; measures to promote responsible ownership; a ban on unlicensed kennels and shelters; a ban on killing stray animals without medical indication; information and educational programmes in schools on animal welfare, and tough sanctions to be imposed on any Member State which fails to comply with the rules."@en1
