"A high level of animal welfare is very important. It is part of sustainable development and is significant in terms of the protection of animal health and public health and ensuring productivity and competitiveness. The existing national rules at and rules at EU level are too complex and, together with inadequate information and differing legal interpretations, create a state of legal uncertainty. The fact that there is still a severe lack of compliance regarding certain laws is dangerous. Standards that are not harmonised and the lack of legal arrangements distort competition and result in an uneven playing field. I firmly believe that it is necessary to act in accordance with the latest scientific knowledge and proven experience. The Commission did not, however, present any new legislative proposals in the strategy! Better enforcement of legislation is important, but without new rules, we will not improve animal welfare. The deterioration in the state of health of wild animals, whose numbers are increasing, could result in an increased spread of contagious diseases to domestic animals. Another negative seems to be the lack of a connection between animal health and public health. Equally striking is the fact that no financial support, which Parliament requested back in 2010, has been allocated to the strategy. I firmly believe that these shortcomings must be eliminated and this issue must be better and more coherently integrated into other EU policies."@en1
