European Parliament
Dan Jørgensen  (S&D ),
in writing.
(DA)
I support the initiatives contained in the own-initiative report on the European Union Strategy for the Protection and Welfare of Animals, in particular those parts relating to the prohibition of animal testing in cosmetics and the labelling of meat from animals slaughtered without stunning. However, I preferred the alternative motion for a resolution on animal welfare tabled by the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left, which contained the same wording as the original report except that it also included a call for reduced transport times for animals sent to slaughter and a prohibition of the sale of meat from cloned animals. I therefore voted in favour of the alternative motion for a resolution and against the original report.
