Czy nowe prawo dotyczące dobrostanu zwierząt ograniczy nielegalny handel?  UE stworzyła swoje pierwsze prawo dotyczące dobrostanu psów i kotów, które ma być stosowane w całym bloku, wymierzone w nielegalny handel i szkodliwe praktyki.

00:13I JO reaches a first law on cats and dog's welfare

00:18to be applied across the block

00:20The rules will target illegal trades

00:23and harmful practice against these pets

00:25Pets. The European Parliament and Council have just defined their positions and are now entering

00:31negotiations to fine-tune the law. The rights of these pets are at the heart of EU Decoded.

00:36There are 127 million cats and 104 million dogs in the EU, with 44% of households owning either

00:45pet, according to European Commission data of 2023. The upcoming legislation sets minimum rules

00:51for the entire EU, such as mandatory microchipping and registration of dogs and cats born in or

00:59imported into the bloc. The European Parliament added that there should be a ban on the sale of

01:04dogs and cats in pet shops in an amended proposal approved this month. Finally, to avoid consanguinity,

01:12the crossbreeding between parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, as well as between

01:17and siblings and half-siblings will be prohibited. Registration is mandatory in 24 of the 27

01:24member states, but systems are fragmented. Let's hear what Europeans think about the new rules.

01:29It is a great deal, because at any time, the animal is Veraculatory rate and falls

01:34cold. After all, it stops a child, or the child is slightly dist площадées.

01:35It is a problem, but not good at all. Namely cool, with 24%. And I think that people

01:36not even set up inside of the lastzenia. Sure.

01:38In any way, theibles can form their lives themselves.

01:42,

01:43There are four sheets, like the Liberal-Found, on the street climb.

01:45The menu is almost 맛있 э put withbet相信, which one is not our Pets seeing

01:48such as the

01:51Prover, so why given everyone feels like dann outro, the potion, and it's also

01:53managed. They are various desires and steady by planting, as well as the

01:54plant is pot for example in Romania or what is there can't eliminate for the

01:55home. I don't think about that, maybe in Dallas, especially for instance, like

01:57Kosovo, czy coś w porządku.

02:27Maximum 3 litrów przez 2 lata.

02:30After that they're going to have at least one year of break.

02:35This is because frequent pregnancies actually lead to malnutrition

02:42or also weakening the immune system of the female dog and cat.

02:48So is this addressing the so-called puppy meals?

02:51Indeed, indeed it's one of the ways to curb this phenomenon of puppy meals.

02:57At the moment it's actually both backed by the Council and the Parliament.

03:01There are also new rules and recommendations for pet owners

03:05in terms of the conditions that should be provided for the animals.

03:10What does the law impose now?

03:12There are some new standards when it comes to, for instance,

03:16species, nutrition, depending on the species of the animal,

03:22walk in the day, but also, for instance, confinement.

03:28This is approved just for transport or during hospitalization.

03:36So the three European institutions will now negotiate the final texts of this law.

03:42Are there still any points of friction? What else could change?

03:46The main points of friction are due to the fact

03:48that the European Parliament position is more ambitious

03:52than the Commission's proposal, but also than the Council's position.

03:56So, for instance, they're trying to ban inbreeding

03:59or breeding for extreme physical traits,

04:03but also euthanasia for healthy dogs in shelter.

04:09Of course, we can see some sort of resistance from the Council

04:13with the traditional arguments of the Council.

04:16So, basically, this will add more red tape

04:20and more bargains on businesses in Europe.

04:24The EU dog and cat trade is worth 1.3 billion euros annually

04:29and 60% of owners purchased them online.

04:32Online trade has led to opacity regarding the origin of the animals,

04:37their health and whether they are vaccinated.

04:40Regarding illegal trafficking, the main countries of origin are Romania and Hungary,

04:45both EU members, and the third countries Russia, Belarus, Serbia and Turkey,

04:51according to a study by the European Commission.

04:54Our guest is Tilly Metz, a Luxembourgese politician from the Green Group here at the European Parliament

05:00and shout the rapporteur for this regulation.

05:03The new rules are expected to apply to about 40,000 commercial dog and cat breeders across the EU,

05:11and many of them sell their animals online.

05:15Do you believe that the future online platform will be enough to ensure traceability

05:21or should the European member states also invest more in inspections and even punitive measures?

05:28I think it's very important that you can certify, if you're a breeder,

05:34that your animal is not only microchip but really also register.

05:39And it's really the aim and the responsibility now from the Commission side

05:44to put a system that will work also in every member state.

05:49So we have also then the guarantee of interoperability to really have traceability of the animal throughout Europe.

05:57Illegal pet traders operate in mafia-like structures, said your colleague Peter Lees two years ago

06:04when the Commission proposed this regulation.

06:07Will the new rules actually curb this, in particular with uncooperative countries such as Russia and Belarus,

06:16which are some of the main suppliers?

06:18That's why we want also that the animal is registered as soon as possible

06:24when it comes into the European Union.

06:27So what we have been advocating is really that the animal is registered already at the border.

06:34But now it is really to look also what is possible to implement.

06:40But the rule should be that the animal is also registered in the lapse of time when it comes into the European Union.

06:49So finally, although dogs and cats are about 90% of European pets,

06:56could this law be extended to other companion animals?

07:01Could you explain a little bit the positive list that is advocated by the European Parliament,

07:06which species could be included?

07:08You know that some people like to have snakes or even animals, wild animals that are protected,

07:15or little monkeys or whatever.

07:17So if we have a positive list, that would mean all the animals that are not on this positive list,

07:23you are not allowed to have them as companion animals.

07:26Electronic tracking may also help to combat pet abandonment.

07:31There are an estimated 100 million dogs and cats on streets and in shelters across Europe,

07:39according to the Socialist and Democratic Group in the European Parliament.

07:44We won't know whether this situation will change until the European Commission presents the first evaluation report in five years.

07:52But first, we need the regulation to be approved.
