"Unfortunately there is not always compliance with animal welfare rules in Europe. Breaches of these rules, with animals as their first victims, go against the interests of consumers and cause distortions of competition between producers.
For all these reasons, I share the conclusions of this report, which encourage legislators at all levels of governance to improve animal welfare by implementing and complying with existing legislation, particularly in the case of animal imports from third countries.
By voting for this resolution, we have, on the one hand, called on the Member States to contract more inspectors and, on the other, called for the European Food and Veterinary Office to be given increased powers. We cannot continue to allow unnecessary animal suffering. Nevertheless, this protection should not be overzealous or bureaucratic, or jeopardise research, cultural traditions such as hunting, or companies which already comply with the law."@en1
