Why this is important
This initiative is especially important because the companion animals are excluded from the EU common animal welfare policy. All companion animals - owned, abandoned or homeless - are completely at the mercy of a Member States laws and regulations.
Countries that are members of the European Union or EU candidate countries, still have many stray dogs and cats, demonstrate problems with national animal welfare and protection laws, which are often not respected, not enforced or are obsolete.
We want that all companion animals living in Member States, shall have the same equal welfare and protection - therefore it is urgent need for common EU policies, directives and laws.
