The picture is very sim - ilar for the group of non-profit associations, to which the FCI belongs. In our case, too, we endeavour to inform the members and partners in the 86 countries in which we are represented, as well as other interested groups about our activities and financial matters. We dispense in this regard with reports on meetings and the resolutions adopted in them on account of notification of the same being given to the countries via the Internet and the sending of minutes on a regular basis. The Executive Director’s report provides information on administrative matters. After the end of yet another year, we can state that is has become even more difficult to keep dogs in various coun - tries, with politics appearing to exert influence on our sphere of activity ever more frequently. This causes us con - cern, as do the increasingly noticeable efforts of animal protection organisations directed against dog owners. Although such measures may be justified in many cases and we can then hardly protest against them, such actions are, however, not justified in a large number of instances and are often politically motivated to an excessive extent. We cannot allow political discussions and decrees to be carried out to the detriment of dogs and their owners. We thank the management of the European section for its con - stant endeavour to improve the relationship with the European Union in an ongoing way and, in this way, gain influence in individual cases as laws emerge. Establishing a proper pro-dog lobby is, however, extremely difficult. So what can we do?
