"Mr President, Mrs Evans’ document concerns the movement of pet animals. The report appears to represent progress for the free movement of pet animals in Europe too. Indeed, the report lists dogs, cats, ornamental tropical fish, amphibia, reptiles, birds and mammals.
Yes, you did hear me say ornamental tropical fish, amongst other things. As you know, Mr President, I have a direct line to the fish. The sardines in the sea complained: ‘We too have free movement, but only to end up in restaurant kitchens, to be thrown straight into the frying pan, while ornamental tropical fish can just enjoy themselves swimming round tanks thanks to your directive. Why is it that you at the European Parliament do not do something to allow us too to become pensioner fish at last rather than persisting in wanting to fry us for your dinner?’"@en1
