European Parliament
Raül Romeva i Rueda  (Verts/ALE ),
in writing.
In favour. This was a very satisfactory report, with strong messages on implementation of existing legislation, incorporating animal welfare into trade issues, establishing a framework law, providing farming method labelling and many other issues.
For the first time, Parliament has called for stronger action against non-enforcement of animal welfare legislation through a system of comprehensive early intervention by the Commission to identify member states likely to fail to meet deadlines, and the creation of legal milestones throughout the transition period to ensure that deadlines are met.
