I voted in favour of this report because so far there is no European Union legislation for the protection of pets and stray animals, despite the fact that the European Union’s pet population is estimated at over 100 million. The European Convention for the Protection of Pet Animals has not yet been signed by all Member States and in many Members States pets and stray animals often become victims of mistreatment and cruelty. In view of Article 13 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), the Union and the Member States must pay full regard to animal welfare requirements. The European Union and the Member States therefore need to ratify the European Convention for the Protection of Pet Animals and to transpose its provisions into national legal systems. The most important steps in the European Union’s system for the protection of animals may include the strengthening of the link between animal and public health, full compliance with and enforcement of legislation, the implementation of a European animal system, and the establishment of equal welfare standards for all imported animals and products, etc."@en1
