WRITTEN QUESTION E-0704/03
by Baroness Sarah Ludford (ELDR) to the Commission
(10 March 2003)
Subject: Cat and dog fur
Does the Commission have any plans to propose legislation to ban the import into the EU of pelts from domestic cats and dogs?
Answer given by Mr Lamy on behalf of the Commission
(23 May 2003)
The cat and dog fur issue is not one of purely external trade but also one of domestic production and use. Indeed the common commercial policy must be seen as a complement to the single market: trade restrictions in the absence of equivalent measures on domestic production and marketing might be contestable as discriminatory and an obstacle to the principle of national treatment.
Therefore, the question of a trade policy initiative in the field of cat and dog furs (a ban on import of cat and dog furs) should not be imposed in isolation from the more general issue of a domestic policy concerning the production and marketing of cat and dog furs on the internal market.
