Following a large number of petitions and expressions of concern expressed by consumers and citizens throughout the Union, this regulation finally proposes to ban the placing on the market - and the import to and the export from the Community - of fur from cats and dogs and products containing such fur (i.e. used as lining or ornament on clothes, or on toys).

Your rapporteur strongly endorses this proposal, highlighting however the need to clearly eliminate any legal loopholes that undermine the import and trade ban as such, and to tighten customs checks as well as administrative - and where possible also criminal - sanctions by Member States in order to create a truly dissuasive framework which could be in a position to indeed stem this shameful and illegal trade.

(5) Because such a ban would be applied equally to domestic and foreign producers and is consistent with provisions in international agreements to which the EU is a party that expressly allow for measures to protect the health and welfare of animals and to prevent the use of deceptive trade practices in international or domestic commerce, it would be WTO compliant.

Комисията по земеделие и развитие на селските райони приканва водещата комисия по вътрешен пазар и защита на потребителите да включи в доклада си следните изменения:
The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development calls on the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following amendments in its report:

4) В резултат на това търговците с кожа, и особено онези, които търгуват с кожа на животни, чийто вид не е посочен и не е лесно разпознаваем, или закупуват продукти, съдържащи такава кожа, са изправени пред риска да не могат законно да търгуват с въпросните продукти в една или повече държави-членки, както и една или повече държави-членки да започнат да прилагат допълнителни изисквания към тази търговия, за да предотвратят употребата на котешка и кучешка кожа.
(4) As a result, fur traders, especially those who commercialise fur whose species of origin is not indicated and not easily recognizable or purchase products containing such fur , are confronted with the risk that the products in question cannot legitimately be traded in one or more of the Member States, or that trade in one or more Member States is subject to additional requirements aimed at preventing the use of cat and dog fur.
4) В резултат на това търговците с кожа в ЕС въведоха доброволно професионален етичен кодекс с цел забрана за внос, износ и търговия с котешка и кучешка кожа и със стоки, съдържащи такава кожа.
(4) As a result, EU fur traders introduced a voluntary code of conduct banning the import or export of or trade in cat and dog fur and products containing such fur.
Това обаче се оказа недостатъчно, за да се предотврати вносът и продажбата на кожи от котки и кучета, особено когато търговците на кожи се занимават с кожа на животни, чийто вид не е посочен и не е лесно разпознаваем, или закупуват продукти, съдържащи такава кожа, и са изправени пред риска да не могат законно да търгуват с въпросните продукти в една или повече държави-членки, както и една или повече държави-членки да започнат да прилагат допълнителни изисквания към тази търговия, за да предотвратят употребата на котешка и кучешка кожа.
However, this has proved insufficient to prevent the import and sale of cat and dog fur, particularly where fur traders deal in fur whose species of origin is not indicated and not easily recognisable or purchase products containing such fur and are confronted with the risk that the products in question cannot legitimately be traded in one or more Member States, or that trade in one or more Member States is subject to additional requirements aimed at preventing the use of cat and dog fur.
Even a voluntary code of conduct introduced by the EU fur industry has failed to prevent unscrupulous traders from attempting to pass off cat and dog fur as ‘legitimate’ fur from licensed fur farms by using mythical names such as Sobaki, Gae Wolf and Asian Jackal.

5) Различията между националните мерки относно котешката и кучешката кожа представляват пречки пред търговията с кожа като цяло.
(5) The differences between national measures as regards cat and dog fur constitute barriers to the fur trade in general.
Различните правни изисквания в отделните държави-членки създават допълнителна тежест и разходи на търговците с кожа.
The diverse legal requirements in the different Member States lead to additional burdens and costs for fur traders .

6) Освен това обикновените потребители на продукти от кожа се стремят да не пазаруват от други държави-членки, поради несигурността им относно приложимата правна рамка в тях.
(6) Moreover, ordinary consumers of fur products are discouraged from buying in other Member States, due to the uncertainty regarding the applicable legal framework there .
6) Освен това обществеността е объркана от различията в правните изисквания в различните държави-членки, което създава пречки пред търговията.
