"Mr President, it was a great pleasure to vote for this report as I myself have campaigned for more than 10 years – for a time, as the animal welfare officer of my parliamentary group in the German Bundestag – for a ban on the removal of fins of sharks. Now, at European level at least, we have a regulation that no longer permits any exemptions. As we know, any exemption, no matter how well-intentioned, creates loopholes and is not at all in the interests of animal welfare. I have always regarded the exemptions as unethical, which is why I am very pleased that the House has adopted this decision today. The task now is to implement this decision not only in the European Union’s Member States – in other words, in its actual area of application – but worldwide, for as we know, animal welfare is indivisible. I wish everyone every possible success in taking this initiative forward."@en1
