Question for written answer E-002088/2021 to the Commission Rule 138 Jean-Paul Garraud (ID), Nicolas Bay (ID), Maximilian Krah (ID), Jean-Lin Lacapelle (ID), André Rougé (ID), Joëlle Mélin (ID), Carlo Fidanza (ECR), France Jamet (ID), Elżbieta Kruk (ECR), Philippe Olivier (ID), Hélène Laporte (ID), Gilles Lebreton (ID), Julie Lechanteux (ID), Gilbert Collard (ID), Herve Juvin (ID) Subject: Grants awarded to advocacy groups The Financial Transparency System indicates that the organisation Européens Sans Frontières (Europeans Without Borders) received a total of EUR 124 574 from the Commission over the course of 2015, 2016 and 2018. Founded in 2015 by Philippe Cayla, this politicised organisation campaigns for residents of a Member State who are not nationals of that country to have the right to vote in all elections. It also advocates the creation of an EU passport so that migrants can move freely in Europe and be able to vote in municipal and EU elections. While it is morally questionable for a publicly-funded organisation to openly take a political stance, the fact that the President of this same organisation is also the President of Euronews Development is even more dubious given that it is a subsidiary of Euronews, a pan-European media outlet that receives a EUR 25 million grant every year, which equates to 75% of the Commission’s Multimedia Actions budget. At a time when Parliament is debating the role of lobbyists and the response to calls from European citizens for more transparency in the functioning of EU institutions, does the Commission not think that such conduct is contributing to Europeans’ legitimate distrust of the EU?

Petras Auštrevičius MEP Eleonora Evi MEP The fight against unscrupulous dog breeding and illegal pet trade across Europe has been Fredrick Federley MEP going on for long, nevertheless, the scale of the recent events in Lithuania is even more Niels Fuglsang MEP appalling. Francisco Guerreiro MEP The poor breeding conditions depicted in the recent cases affect not only the health and Martin Hojsík MEP welfare of the animals concerned, but they also have a negative impact on reputable Tilly Metz MEP breeders, public health, consumer safety and national tax revenues. Moreover, Lithuanian Maria Noichl MEP bred dogs travel cross-border to satisfy demands in other European countries. Emil Radev MEP Unfortunately, since 2016, there have been no initiatives to regulate pet breeding, sale or Sarah Wiener MEP ownership, and the current situation is the result of the following shortcomings: Jadwiga Wiśniewska MEP 1.

The welfare of wild animals in circuses is always severely compromised. Most of Member States consider that the use of wild animals in circuses does not have any educational or cultural value and, on the contrary, may have a negative impact on the public’s perception and respect of wild animals. – indeed 23 have already adopted a total or partial ban on their use. Health controls for the movement of circus animals between Member States should be applied through Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2035 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/429.
