"Guaranteeing the protection and welfare of animals is in line with practices to improve the sustainability of our agricultural and food production. This report establishes a strategy on the issue, for the three-year period 2012-2014, with the specific intention of strengthening the protection of animals and, consequently, of consumers. Animal welfare is a complex, multi-faceted issue with repercussions both for the policies of individual Member States and internationally. Decisions on the issue, such as the one we have adopted, are therefore never straightforward to deal with and require a great deal of deliberation. Moreover, I am convinced that greater protection of animal health is necessary also for consumer and environmental protection. However, I think it should be emphasised that, while on the one hand it is good that animal welfare is protected, on the other we should avoid turning excessive legislation on the issue into yet another obstacle to activities in the agri-food sector."@en1
