"Madam President, this resolution of the Animal Welfare Intergroup, of which I am a vice-chair, is both timely and welcome, and my Group wholeheartedly supports its objectives. Particularly welcome is the checklist on the existing strategy, where it is noted that only nine out of 19 actions that were called for have so far been implemented by the Commission. That is why any new strategy should urgently and loudly call for a comprehensive and clear animal welfare legislative framework law which improves animal welfare standards and does not dilute them. It is a concern of ours that when some people talk of simplification of rules, it is a dilution. What we need is better implementation.
There are too many elements of the proposed resolution to talk about in the time allowed, but special mention should be made of calls to embed the sentient status of all animals; the EU—wide ban on mistreatment and suffering of animals; to study the animal health dairy cattle standards against our own and correct any differences found; and finally, to review the transport of animals and the regulations and how they are implemented. Animal welfare issues are regularly in the top three subjects in my constituents’ e-mail bag. Citizens care about animals and are looking for their Parliament to protect them."@en1
