<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"Scenes of animal mistreatment during the ‘Festival of the Sacrifice’ (Eid al-Adha) in Gaza have been widely shared on social media. However, authorities should already be aware of the problem. Several years ago, the Guardian reported that ‘one animal was kneecapped by bullets fired from an assault rifle.’ Live animals are still being exported to the Middle East even though they are often slaughtered using methods that are inconsistent with international standards.  In order to address the issue of the unnecessary and extreme suffering of exported animals, in 2017 the Commission announced plans to audit several Member States, with a focus on ‘long journeys and live exports to non-EU countries.’ It also promised to ‘continue supporting training activities on animal welfare during transport and at slaughter, including for non-EU countries’ and considered ‘providing support for the implementation of the OIE Animal Welfare Action Plan for Middle East countries… related to the long distance transport and slaughter of animals.’  1.What concrete improvements in the treatment of exported animals have been made following the support and training provided to OIE member states and Middle Eastern countries?  2.Will the Commission consider banning the export of live animals to countries that do not adhere to international standards on animal welfare during transport and slaughter?"
