lpv:translated text	"I welcome the Commission Communication on an EU Strategy for the Protection and Welfare of Animals, which we helped to improve. A high level of animal welfare is part of sustainable development and is thus vital for protecting public health and the productivity and competitiveness of the livestock sector in Europe. We must therefore guarantee a new, uniform and harmonised approach in all Member States where there is currently a lack of compliance with some national laws on animal welfare. We note the continued abuse of derogations established for the un-stunned slaughter of animals for religious or ritualistic purposes, turning a blind eye to the unnecessary suffering of animals and misleading of consumers. We allow some Member States to exterminate stray animals through urban cleaning policies, ignoring the state’s responsibility for abandoned animals, including stray animals, and we allow kennels to be established without licences and without checks on the staff and the premises. We believe a framework law is vital to harmonise national laws on animal welfare, requiring the Member States to produce an annual report on the implementation of European legislation, and enabling the Commission to take effective action against non-compliance with obligations. Only in this way will we have a world that is fairer, including for animals."@en1
