"In the run-up to Euro 2012, I received a number of letters about dogs in Ukraine. My constituents were concerned about the inhumane methods used to reduce the country’s population of stray animals. This resolution on stray animals has been proposed by the Committee on Petitions. It is important that we listen to the issues which are of most concern to our citizens. Nevertheless, I was not able to support this resolution.
This is not because I do not care for the welfare of animals. I am a firm supporter of animal welfare and I recently signed the written declaration on dog population management in the European Union. Yet there was a difference between the written declaration and this resolution. The declaration called for Member States to adopt dog control and anti-cruelty laws. The resolution wants to introduce an EU legal framework for the protection of pets and stray animals. There is no legal basis for such a framework and I cannot support new rules on strays at the EU level."@en1
