a member of the finnish green party was among those who were critical of underly and when she is hume this, but it quickly changed. i'm positively surprised on several issues. one is that she's very committee to the e.u. green deal because i as a green, i see that we have to transform our societies and the system must change because otherwise, we cannot sustain this planet, that humanity's climate action remains on the top of the pond. and i answer genda at the heart of it, is our mission to become the 1st climate neutral continent in 2050, as well as the digital transformation and the migration crisis our lead. but it's the covert pandemic that has so far pose the biggest challenge to fund a lie and a medical doctor with a master's degree in public health problem. health is the competence of member states, not the commission. that's why she moved slowly in the beginning, says vivian, the waiting form, a e.u. commission, vice president, she believes fund a lion has what it takes to get europe out of the current crisis. she persuaded governments to go ahead that it was necessary to hav

at the end of the day, they are wild, dangerous animals that are a serious risk to humes and themselves. big cats themselves are also at risk. as there have been countless reports of abuse, mistreatment and exploitation at private zoos. opponents of our legislation argue that it unfairly targets small zoos, pitting the large against the small. to be clear, this legislation has nothing to do with a zoo's size. and does not ban any zoo from possessing, breeding or exhibiting big cats. our legislation prohibits zoos from allowing the public to interact with big cats. it does not in any way impact the typical model of zoos in which they have an exhibit of big cats on display. as long as the zoo does not allow direct contact between people and the public and these big cats, they will not be affected by this legislation. this practice also takes a toll on law enforcement agencies. that are forced to respond to escapes and attacks when big cats that have outgrown cub petting and are funneled into the hands of private citizens. this bill is supported, madam chair, by both the national sheriff's
