Legislation and recommendation Since 2003 (Directive 2008/120/EC codified) Provision of manipulable materials to all pigs is compulsory Routine tail docking is forbidden Since March 2016 Recommendation (EU) 2016/336 Staff working document SWD(2016)49 final

European Parliament Petition 0336/2012 concerning the routine tail docking of piglets in Denmark(still open) EP study in 2014 following the petition Series of EP questions to Commission Meeting with Commissioner March 2016

Study of the Parliament 2014 (1) EFSA 2007 opinion only 3 Member States have actually prohibited tail docking (FI, LT, SE) FVO reports 2010-2011 6 Member States comply 5 without information 17 do not comply

Study of the Parliament 2014 (2) Investigation by NGO 2008-2009 in 74 farms in 6 Member States 2013 in 45 farms in 6 Member States Almost systematic noncompliance on routine tail docking (87 to 100%) No systematic data collection on practical implementation

Complaints 3 complaints closed (2012/2013) on procedural grounds and the need to develop guidelines 3 open complaints from 2014 Recommendation now published No good reason to close them

Conclusion We need an action plan towards full compliance with: A common monitoring methodology An overall benchmark of the today's situation Measurable progress within 3 years
