"Madam President, European citizens are looking to the Commission for decisive action to safeguard animal welfare. The new animal welfare strategy should be a starting point to introduce European framework legislation on animal welfare, supported by a one-stop-shop for animal welfare within the Commission – the only guarantee that animal welfare issues will be dealt with in a coordinated and efficient manner.
Animals, as we have heard tonight, are sentient beings, and this principle must underpin the thinking around the new animal welfare strategy. Only having realised this basic truth can we address the most pressing animal welfare issues across the EU and beyond: to improve the welfare of farm animals, to end live exports to third countries and to curb the illicit trade in puppies and exotic pets. These, and many other issues, demand attention. It is time for a new and robust strategy."@en1
