Send in the Clowns
The European Union ponders the weighty issues of the day: MEPs call for common EU circus policy. (Hat tip: EU Rota.)
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – The European parliament is set to vote on a report calling for standardised rules for circuses performing across the continent.
MEPs suggest circuses should be referred to as part of Europe’s cultural heritage, but they disagree on whether they should include presentation of animals or not.
The report contemplating the “new challenges for the circus as part of European culture” is to be voted on Thursday (13 October).
