In its resolution of 12 October 2006 on a Community Action Plan on the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2006-20102, the European Parliament called on the Commission to propose a total import ban on seal products. In its Recommendation 1776 (2006) on seal hunting of 17 November 2006, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe recommended to invite the Member States of the Council of Europe practising seal hunting to ban all cruel hunting methods which do not guarantee the instantaneous death, without suffering, of the animals, to prohibit the stunning of animals with instruments such as hakapiks, bludgeons and guns, and to promote initiatives aimed at prohibiting trade in seal products. _________ 1 OJ C 306 E, 15.12.2006, p. 194. 2 OJ C 308 E, 16.12.2006, p. 170. Justification The European Parliament’s Resolution on the Animal Welfare Action Plan 2006 – 2010 calls on the Commission to propose a total import ban on seal products and its Written Declaration Banning Seal Products In The European Union, signed by 425 MEPs and which prompted the proposed prohibition on seal product trade, and the Recommendation of the Council of Europe urged its members to promote initiatives aimed at prohibiting trade in seal products and, in part, prompted the proposed Regulation.

The European Food Safety Authority concluded, in its scientific opinion on the Animal Welfare aspects of the killing and skinning of seals, that it is possible to kill seals rapidly and effectively without causing them avoidable pain or distress, whilst also reporting that in practice, effective and humane killing does not always happen1. RR\418166EN.doc 7/76 PE418.166v02-00 EN 1 Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Animal Health and Welfare on a request from the Commission on the Animal Welfare aspects of the killing and skinning of seals. The EFSA Journal (2007) 610, 1-122. Justification The concern of European citizens is about a trade involving suffering of wild animals, not only suffering which is avoidable. Unavoidable suffering may be very considerable. The question is that, regardless of whether some seals can be killed humanely or not, seals cannot be consistently killed humanely in the field environments in which commercial seal hunts occur. Amendment 5 Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 a (new) Text proposed by the Commission Amendment (3a) In 2007, the Commission gave a mandate to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the most appropriate or suitable killing methods for seals which reduce unnecessary pain, distress and suffering to the greatest extent possible, but did not request that the EFSA evaluate whether the killing in commercial seal hunts is in fact humane or could ever be made humane, given the conditions under which the hunting occurs. Justification The Commission did not ask EFSA to assess whether commercial seal hunting is currently conducted in a humane fashion, but rather the most appropriate killing methods for seals to reduce as much as possible unnecessary pain, distress and suffering. The killing methods recommended in EFSA’s report and the draft Regulation do not prescribe humane killing as any reputable

    Procurement after the entry of the Treaty of Lisbon -Will the new provision of social economic market have an impact on procurement ? Master‟s thesis within Public Procurement Author: Jessica Johansson Tutor: Charlotta Strengberg Jönköping May 2010 Master‟s Thesis in Commercial Law Title: Procurement after the entry of the Lisbon Treaty – will the social eco- nomic market have an impact on procurement Author: Jessica Johansson Tutor: Charlotta Strengberg Date: 2010-05-27 Subject terms: Lisbon Treaty, social economic market, procurement, state aid. Abstract As of 1 December 2009 the Treaty of Lisbon came into force. The Treaty brings along several changes for the physical structure of the EU. There are no changes aimed direct- ly towards procurement, however the Treaty of Lisbon might prove to include changes of major impact. Article 3 (3) NEU includes a change to how the inner market shall be achieved. The Treaty text has gone from an inner market based on competition to in- clude a “social economic market”, however there is no indication of what this means from a procurement perspective. The inner market and procurement had difficulties al- ready before the entry of the Lisbon Treaty. There was arguments as regards to how fair a state could intervene trough public procurement to achieve positive social effects. The CJEU has persistently held that the inner market shall be built by the help of the inner market and competition. The Commission has during the last years started to express a different opinion than the CJEU with regards to low value procurements. The legislators has also shown a great interest for the SME‟s and ensured more leeway for these com- panies to receive help form the member states.
