EU funds used to renovate a bullring

Question for written answer P-012518-13
to the Commission
Rule 117
Raül Romeva i Rueda (Verts/ALE)

The town council of Ondara in the Autonomous Community of Valencia has announced that it will renovate a bullring using the approximately EUR 600 000 it has obtained from EU funds[1]. The building's appearance will be altered and all the changes needed before bullfights can be held once again on a regular basis will be carried out.

This represents a new step in the European Union's subsidy of equipment and resources to promote bullfights — a cruel form of entertainment benefiting directly or indirectly from aid from EU citizens as a whole — in some Member States.

Is the Commission aware of the aforementioned case?

Is the Commission considering promoting measures to stop bullfighting equipment and resources receiving subsidies?
