What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

The European Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law to improve the welfare of dogs and cats and ensure their traceability, covering breeding, selling, shelters, and imports.

The position includes rules on identification and registration, bans on certain practices like ear cropping and pet shop sales, and stricter requirements for breeders and online sales.

Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal, and will now negotiate with the Council.
