Η Κοινοτική Νομοθεσία δεν εφαρμόζεται στη Γερμανία

Παράνομες εισαγωγές ζώων στη Γερμανία

Οι ομάδες προστασίας ζώων που εισάγουν σκύλους στη χώρα λειτουργούν παράνομα

Η εισαγωγή ζώων στη Γερμανία από το εξωτερικό είναι ένα αμφιλεγόμενο θέμα και ο νόμος που ισχύει σε ορισμένα κράτη δεν εφαρμόζεται. Μακριά από το ρυθμιστικό πλαίσιο και τον έλεγχο της υγειονομικής υπηρεσίας , ένας αμέτρητος αριθμός ζώων, κυρίως σκύλων, εισάγεται από οργανώσεις προστασίας των ζώων στην...



Ομοσπονδιακή Δημοκρατία. Για τα ομόσπονδα κράτη της Σαξονίας, Σάαρ και του Αμβούργου - CharityWatch.de , υπάρχει η παραδοχή της αποτυχίας να εφαρμόζουν την ισχύουσα νομοθεσία και από τα αρμόδια υπουργεία.

Νομικό πλαίσιο. Τον Σεπτέμβριο του 2010, ο Δρ Πάτρικ Huselstein από το Ομοσπονδιακό Υπουργείο Διατροφής, Γεωργίας και Προστασίας των Καταναλωτών (BMELV) εξέφρασε μια εμπεριστατωμένη γνώμη για την ισχύουσα νομοθεσία και την εισαγωγή ζώων από οργανώσεις προστασίας των ζώων , αναφέροντας τα σημεία που θέλουν προσοχή και το τί πρέπει να εφαρμόζεται .

Επισημαίνεται , μεταξύ άλλων, ότι έχει ήδη ξεκινήσει πανεθνική έρευνα από τα υπουργεία , για τον αριθμό των οργανώσεων και ζωοφιλικών ενώσεων και των αδειών τους , τον αριθμό των αποστολών ζώων από κάθε χώρα για το 2009 και 2010. Ήδη διαπιστώνονται, από τα πρώτα αποτελέσματα, ασάφειες στις χορηγίες , άγνωστα στοιχεία, παρανομίες και διαπιστώνεται εν γένει κερδοσκοπία από τις εισαγωγές ζώων στη Γερμανία.
Διαπιστώνεται ακόμη ότι δεν υπάρχουν καταχωρημένοι αριθμοί εισαγωγής ζώων, ούτε άδειες για τις εμπορικές συναλλαγές με κατοικίδια.

Εν ολίγοις, διαπιστώνεται έλλειψη έλέγχου και εκτιμάται ότι 250.000-400.000 σκυλιά εισήχθησαν μόνο το 2010 από το εξωτερικό .
Η εισαγωγή ζώων από τις ομάδες πρόνοιας και προστασίας ζώων έχει πλέον φτάσει σε μεγάλα νούμερα, αψηφώντας το Κοινοτικό Δίκαιο και λειτουργεί σε μια "γκρίζα περιοχή" έξω από κάθε είδους κανονιστικό έλεγχο και μακριά από κάθε κρατικό έλεγχο.

ILLEGAL ANIMAL IMPORTS (1)
EU law is not applied
Animal imports are often illegally

The import of animals from abroad is a hotly disputed topic. Beyond all the pros and cons in the discussion among animal rights activists, lawmakers on both federal and created on a European level have long unique facts and provides detailed rules. But: In Germany, this law in force in some states is not applied. Away from all regulatory and animal health controls, a non-quantifiable number of animals, especially dogs, introduced by animal protection organizations in the Federal Republic. For the federal states of Saxony, Saarland and Hamburg CharityWatch.de an admission of failure to apply existing law against writing by the competent ministries.

Legal framework. In September 2010, Dr. Patrick Huselstein by the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV) detailed opinion to one that current law on importation of animals by animal protection organizations said that. The main points are:
1. All animal welfare organizations must prior to importation of animals in their veterinary authorities of a registration number according to paragraph 4 of the Internal Market for Animal Health Protection Act (BMTierSSchV) apply.
2. Regardless of the type of transport and the number of animals must all transports on the date of shipment of the TRACES system are reported.
3. Animal welfare organizations also require a permit under section 11, paragraph 1, point 3, point b animal protection law for "commercial trade in animals. This approval has nothing to do with the prescribed for animal shelters and pet home-like facilities Section 11 permit (expertise).
4. Puppies under three months are not vaccinated against rabies because of their age, may not at all and will not be introduced in the company of a dam to Germany. Also, exemptions are not available for this purpose.


Nationwide demand. Based on the results for individual research CharityWatch.de launched a nationwide inquiry to all the ministries of agriculture. This press inquiry was directed to the number of permits equipped with appropriate associations and organizations, the number of reported shipments and the number of dogs was introduced in 2009. For each state, these professionals will also have a sample query for association.
Ignorance. Many animal welfare organizations' laws are not known. Again and again the objection is heard that it was not a trade in animal welfare to work. The legislature has a different view. It is not about a possible margins, but merely a question of whether in the context of this import money flows. This is in animal welfare is the case, but the placement of the animals protection fees levied on. The decisive and distinctive criterion for so-called Travel Scheme is the intended change of ownership in the target country. Another crucial factor is not the number of imported animals. The cited regulations apply equally well when only one dog is moved to Germany. Each animal protection organization, each animal rights, the registration number referred to in paragraph 4 BMTierSSchV and TRACES messages without animals in the Federal Republic of imports without doing so illegally. This also applies to air sponsorships.
Saxony. The Saxon State Ministry, on request, with a particular case that the veterinary authorities, the law only through the notes of CharityWatch.de has become clear and it has explicitly thanked. To ensure the implementation of rules in the future, veterinary offices, the Food Surveillance and even about the law on the importation of animals and trade in these animals be informed.
Hamburg. There are a number of animal protection organizations under the jurisdiction of the Hamburg consumer protection authority, the animals from abroad to introduce a regular basis. But either 2009 or in previous years, Hamburg has any animal rights organization in the state ever had a registration number according to paragraph 4 BMTierSSchV been assigned. No animal protection society and not an animal welfare organization in the state has been the competent veterinary authorities to be asked of, the commercial trade in animals to apply for a permit. The TRACES system of Hamburg is not a single report of a shipment of animals in the present state. Any figures on how many dogs were introduced in 2009, has not the Ministry. This means veterinary checks on imports of animal welfare organizations to take place has not.
Saarland. BMTierSSchV execution date is the 1992nd The current version of that law is known since April 2005. Nevertheless, argues the Saarland Ministry for Health and Consumer Protection contrary to existing law so that the resident of this state animal protection societies relied on their charitable activities. With the delivery of animals protection fees would only collected, no-profit serving. Even two months after the explicit clarification by the BMELV, which state "commercial trade in animals" for animal protection societies is the moves, the Saarland, the obsolete heading back to profit. But even without the criterion of industrial BMTierSSchV applies in the current version in five years. It follows that has a registration number required, and shipments must be reported on TRACES. But this part of the statutory provisions is in Saarland not apply: not a single registry, not one to Saarland reported livestock. Accordingly, the query is the data to an in Saarland established animal welfare organization, the evidence from abroad and regularly introduces dogs, negative.
Lack of control. It is estimated that 250000-400000 dogs from abroad to the West introduced to the year. Although the international animal welfare and the importation of animals by animal welfare organizations in circumference has achieved significant since, although in the past about dangerous epidemics have broken out (top of infectious anemia in horses), finds different states so far do not apply EU law instead. Animal imports by animal welfare organizations operate in a gray area outside of any regulatory control.
Explosive detected. CharityWatch.de meantime, countries have ministries of the urgency of the requests of recognized. The topic was the agenda of the last meeting of the Regional Working Group on Consumer Protection (LAV) is set to. In the LAV work for consumer affairs highest state authorities together. Particular task is the coordination of enforcement of the laws. A statement from the LAV is announced and will then be published by CharityWatch.de.
CW opinion. How important animal health controls have, have a major animal disease threats (avian, swine flu, etc.) of the past few years have made. The group of diseases, the direct health effects on humans has not be through the global travel and global trade quickly to a threat with potentially large economic losses. Therefore, it is unacceptable if the law is not applied in this area.
But the subject has other facets: Although animal welfare is defined as a state goal, wide areas of this important social task moved to the honorary post. be mentioned as examples are the references animal management and care of animals seized by the authorities. As it now turns out, is the importation of animals moved by animal protection organizations, partly in an area away from any government control. Animal welfare itself has a vital and its socio-political importance reasonable interest therein, to his work transparent, controlled and to make sure.
