Question 395: To ask the Minister for Agriculture and Food her views on the trade in dog and cat fur; if there are proposals to ban the trade in dog and cat fur here; her views on the mandatory labelling of products with dog and cat fur; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40350/06]

The EU Commission presented proposals on the 22nd of November dealing with the banning of trade in cat and dog fur and the import and export of these products. In general I welcome the Commission's decision to propose legislation in this area but of course the detailed provisions will have to be discussed in the various EU fora in the period ahead.
