lpv:spoken text	"Animal welfare is a topic on which constituents from my region are continuously writing to me to demand action. While I acknowledge the important role played by the Commission in improving animal welfare in Europe over the past years, crucial steps remain to be taken. The recognition that animals are sentient beings should be the basis of any effective piece of legislation aiming to protect the wellbeing of animals. Yet the majority of existing acts fail to recognise this key principle. While the adoption by the Commission of the Strategy on the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2012-2015 has been a crucial step in improving animal welfare, it is disappointing that only nine out of the 19 actions contained in it have been implemented. I count on the Commission to build on progress it has made with a strategy for 2016-2020 that investigates why this has been the case, and draws lessons from failure as well as success."@en1
