lpv:translated text	"− I voted in favour of this proposal because the Commission Communication on the Strategy for the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2012-2015 is much needed. Currently there are countless diverging national legal requirements in force. There are no shared definitions and the complex sets of rules and requirements impede the understanding of good animal husbandry or practice for the individual animal handler or owner. As a consequence, animal welfare conditions, in the EU today, vary greatly between countries. If we use this Communication properly, we will be able to achieve a clear and uniform level of animal welfare throughout the EU. A high level of animal welfare, which is inseparable from sustainable development, is important for protecting animal health, public health and the productivity and competitiveness of the livestock sector in Europe. In its Communication the Commission included Parliament’s proposal for a European Animal Welfare Framework Law. The basic principles of such a law are clarity, simplification and practical implementation on a scientific basis. Today European and national rules on animal welfare are complex and there is a lack of information about them, which leads to legal uncertainty, while non-compliance and the lack of legal measures distort competition. There is therefore a need for a new approach to animal welfare, which is based on science and experience acquired in recent years, and where the legislation is easy to understand and control."@en1
