Eu And Animal Welfare

EDM number 46 in 2003-04, proposed by Caroline Spelman on 26/11/2003.

That this House calls on the European Commission to work for the improvement of animal welfare throughout the community; and to this end, calls on the Commission to ensure that animal welfare standards across the Continent are raised to meet the very high standards which pertain in the United Kingdom, thus allowing British farmers to compete on a level playing field.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs.
