Ahead of their time, our cats and dogs will be able to move freely within the territory of the Union, provided they are fitted with an electronic microchip. In eight years’ time, tattoos will become illegal and our hamsters and guinea pigs will be welcome in all the Member States, and it will not be long before we have a budget heading for asylum-seeking animals. It makes you wonder ...
The main question remains unanswered: what category does the ferret go in? The suspense is excruciating. It is enough to make you forget the moratorium on GMOs and the threat of war in Iraq! This report is definitely vital for European integration, hovering as we are on the brink of enlargement following the Irish ‘yes’.
It is easy to mock, but, as always where this kind of rather bizarre text is concerned, there are serious issues just beneath the surface. In this case, we have to establish a quarantine period for rabies. This fable reflects the Commission’s desire to make the Member States live happily ever after in sanitary bliss whether they like it or not, preventing them from protecting their citizens as they see fit."@en1
