COMUNICAT DE PRESA

Strasbourg, 8 iunie 2011

Eurodeputata PNL Adina Valean a initiat, saptamana aceasta, alaturi de Daciana Sarbu si alti doi europarlamentari, o declaratie scrisa privind „gestionarea populatiei canine in Uniunea Europeana” solicitand, printre altele, statelor UE sa adopte strategii corespunzatoare in acest sens, care sa cuprinda „masuri cum ar fi sterilizarea animalelor cu si fara stapan, legi privind controlul cainilor si promovarea principiului detinerii responsabile de animale de companie”. Daca declaratia va intruni jumatate plus unu din numarul parlamentarilor europeni, va deveni pozitia oficiala a PE in acest dosar.

In preambulul declaratiei scrise, se arata ca „in conformitate cu tratatul Uniunii Europene, animalele sunt fiinte sensibile iar statele membre UE trebuie sa acorde intreaga atentie cerintelor referitoare la conditiile de viata ale animalelor”. Totodata se mentioneaza ca „in unele state membre, animalele fara stapan reprezinta o amenintare la adresa sanatatii si sigurantei publice” si ca unele dintre aceste tari „aplica masuri extreme impotriva animalelor fara stapan”.

Eurodeputatii invita Comisia sa asigure respectarea principiului mentionat in articolul 13 din tratat in statele membre, iar pe SM sa adopte strategii corespunzatoare privind gestionarea populatiei canine, care sa cuprinda masuri precum sterilizarea animalelor cu si fara stapan, legi privind controlul cainilor si promovarea principiului detinerii responsabile de animale de companie.

In acelasi timp, europarlamentarii Adina Valean, Daciana Sarbu, Elisabeth Jeggle si Janusz Wojciechowski solicita CE sa incurajeze statele membre sa introduca identificarea si inregistrarea obligatorie a fiecarui caine, prin sisteme compatibile la nivelul UE, pentru a evita raspandirea bolilor.

Press Release

Strasbourg , 8 June 2011

Adina Valean, ALDE MEP, has initiated, this week, together with Daciana Sarbu and two other MEPs, a written declaration concerning “the management of the dog population in the European Union,” asking Member States to adopt relevant strategies on this, that include “measures such as sterilisation of owned and stray animals, dog control laws and the promotion of responsible pet ownership.” If the declaration gathers half + 1 from the number of MEPs, it will become the official position of the European Parliament in this dossier.

In the preamble of the written declaration, it is stated that “according to the Treaty, animals are sentient beings and the EU and Member States must pay full regard to the welfare requirements of animals.” It is also mentioned that “in some Member States, stray animals pose a threat to public health and safety” and that some of the Member States “are taking extreme measures against stray animals.”

MEPs call on the Commission to ensure that the principle mentioned in Article 13 of the Treaty is respected by the Member States and calls on the Member States to adopt comprehensive dog population management strategies that include measures such as sterilisation of owned and stray animals, dog control laws and the promotion of responsible pet ownership.

In the same time, MEPs Adina Valean, Daciana Sarbu, Elisabeth Jeggle and Janusz Wojciechowski ask the European Commission to encourage the Member States to introduce the mandatory identification and registration of every dog, by means of EU-wide compatible systems, in order to avoid the spread of diseases.
