"Animal welfare has now become a very palpable topic in our society. On the one hand, people are concerned about the welfare of farmed animals and, on the other, there is also the consideration of human health. After all, as science proved long ago, the consumption of animals that have had a short journey to the slaughterhouse and are slaughtered as quickly as possible is distinctly healthier. For other reasons too, a few animal protection issues have been dealt with in laws at national level and directives at EU level. I voted in favour of the report, as I agree with the rapporteur when she says that considerably more attention needs to be paid to compliance with existing animal welfare provisions. The Commission needs to be in a position to impose penalties on any Member States that do not comply with the directives that have been adopted. It must also be ensured that legislation adopted at national level – for the good of the health of both animals and people – is complied with."@en1
