Déclaration Ecrite 0006/2013, signature de M. Jean LAMBERT, député du Royaume Uni

Dear Nina,

 

Thank you for your email regarding the Written Declaration 0006/2013. The suffering and treatments of greyhounds, be it for hunting or for coursing or competition, is a great concern for myself and for many of my constituents in the UK.

I welcome this declaration which will call upon the Commission to ensure that the European Union’s animal welfare legislation is implemented correctly. The declaration will also force the Commission to propose concrete actions to bring about an immediate stop to the acts of cruelty inflicted on greyhounds in Europe.

In order to be successfully adopted, the declaration must be signed by at least 369 MEPs (half of the House) before the 15th of July of this year. I will be signing the written declaration and will also be encouraging other MEPs to do so.  

For more information about my animal protection work see the latest edition of Making Tracks at http://www.jeanlambertmep.org.uk/document_detail.php?id=113.

Please let me know if you would like to receive Making Tracks directly and/or further email updates about my work as London's Green MEP.

 

Kind regards

 

Jean Lambert

MEP for London

Dear Madam, Dear Sir,

Member of the Euro Parliament,

Only recently a statesman said: “No single law, or set of laws, can prevent all wrongs in the world. But that is not an excuse to do nothing”. One of these wrongs is the deplorable treatment of greyhounds in Europe.

Many people and organisations have repea tedly asked attention for this on a national and european level. But too often this painful issue has been side - stepped for political reasons.

Mrs. Striffler, MEP, together with Louis Michel (ALDE), Dan Jørgensen (S&D), Raül Romeva i Rueda (Verts/ALE), Kartika Tamara Liotard (GUE), Santiago Fisas Ayxela (PPE), Sirpa Pietikäinen (PPE), Cristian Dan Preda(PPE), Iva Zanicchi (PPE), Sonia Alfano (ALDE), Gianni Vattimo(ALDE), Andrea Zanoni (ALDE), has assessed the issue and has proposed a Written Declaration 00
06/2013 that gets to the heart of the matter. Since the introduction of art. 13 of the Lisbon Treaty all animals are considered sentient beings, we need to pay full regard to their welfare requirements and this must be achieved by all appropriate and available means.

With regard to greyhounds, some regulation on a national level and self - regulation by the industries is present. But in many cases this has proven to be inadequate and ineffective. There is no compliance, no enforcement and no monitoring. And so thousands of hounds still suffer a terrible fate. Many greyhounds are bred and then cruelly disposed of when no longer considered of use. To stop this senseless suffering, Mrs. Striffler stipulates that the welfare of greyhounds will be genuinely prom oted by addressing these abuses on a European level.

This tragic situation can come to an end if the majority of MEP’s are willing to show their integrity and concern and not choose the path of the least resistance. We therefore respectfully ask for your support.

Please sign Written Declaration nr. P7_DCL(2013)0006 from April 15h to July 15 th, 2013

Countless citizens deeply shocked by the torture of Galgos and Greyhounds in Europe hope you will sign it and work in the future on enforcement so that the european Animal Welfare legislation becomes binding on Member States.
