EU: Animal Welfare - Cat and Dog Fur

The ban will apply from 31 December 2008


On 20 November 2006, the European Commission adopted a proposal to ban the import, export and sale of cat and dog fur in the EU. The proposal was drawn up in response to strong demands from EU citizens, as well as politicians, who asked for measures to be taken to prevent cat and dog fur from being sold in the EU.

The Commission proposal was negotiated in Council and European Parliament up to June 2007, with a view to concluding this dossier as quickly as possible through the co-decision procedure. On 19 June 2007 the European Parliament approved a compromise text, which the Council and the Commission also agreed on.

The Council formally adopted the proposal in November 2007
