Vote: 05.12.2002
In adopting this resolution, Parliament underlined that revision of Directive 86/069 is a matter of urgency and that the extension of its legal basis is essential. Although this resolution is a non-legislative and own-initiative report, it should be considered as a precursor to this. Therefore, Commission and Member States should take on board its comments and recommendations in the interest of a stricter European animal protection policy.
