Plucking of down from live geese in Hungary

WRITTEN QUESTION P-2735/05
by Kathalijne Buitenweg (Verts/ALE)
to the Commission

On 6 April 2005 I received an answer from Mr Kyprianou to my first question on the plucking of down from live geese in Hungary (Written Question P‑0719/05), in which he wrote that, if the plucking of down from live birds causes unnecessary pain, suffering or injury, this amounts to a breach of Article 3 of Directive 98/58/EC[1]. There can be no doubt that the plucking of down from live geese causes unnecessary pain, suffering or injury. In this connection, I would refer you, as I did in my first question, to the pictures shown under the following link:
