<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"On 13December 1998, from 10.55 p.m. to 11.45 p.m., German RTL Television broadcast a documentary entitled Cats and dogs: the fur scandal - consumer advertising and cruelty to animals, reporting the existence of a growing trade in cat and dog fur.  The fur is reported to be used in producing such items as decorative collars, cuddly toys, leather jackets, shoes, golfing gloves, etc.  Hundreds of thousands of cat and dog pelts are reported to be traded in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Switzerland in particular.  Can the Commission state whether the trade in and processing of cat and dog fur is lawful in the European Member States?  Can the Commission confirm that both the trade and the processing business are growing strongly?  Does the Commission not consider that this is a reprehensible development, not least because nearly all cats and dogs are domestic animals and an expanding trade in these animals' fur increases the risk of stray family pets being stolen?  Is the Commission prepared simply to prohibit this trade and the associated processing in the European Union so that members of the public need have no fear of their pets being caught and killed to satisfy the needs of this trade?"
