More Humanity towards Animals "ENFORCEMENT OF EUROPEAN ANIMAL WELFARE RELATED LEGISLATION" Council Directive 1999/74/EC Half ban means half enforcement Gabriel PAUN Director of Campaigns VIER PFOTEN / FOUR PAWS International Brussels, June 2012

More Humanity towards Animals Council Directive 1999/74/EC Three types of rearing systems for laying hens: enriched cages cm² / hen non enriched cage cm² / hen ban planned for January 2012 non-cage systems - barn and free range

More Humanity towards Animals Council Directive 1999/74/EC – Problems 1.Delay of implementation 2.The escape of the hidden eggs

More Humanity towards Animals Council Directive 1999/74/EC – Delay of implementation Consequences: negative precedent for other AW initiatives illegal trade / unfair competition for complying farmers price disruption confusion among consumers

More Humanity towards Animals Council Directive 1999/74/EC – The escape of the hidden eggs

More Humanity towards Animals 30% of the EU production is consumed as processed egg products (powder, liquid and colored). Hidden eggs not covered by Directive may be found in: pasta sauces / mayo sweets liqueur colored Easter eggs Facts: trash bin for cage eggs unless food producers commit for voluntarily labeling confusion among consumers / missing freedom of choice

More Humanity towards Animals Council Directive 1999/74/EC – Conclusion It is made and implemented in a way that gives space for confusion and enforcement problems. It is incomplete.

More Humanity towards Animals Council Directive 1999/74/EC – Solution Extension of the existing labeling system 0,1,2,3 to all products containing processed eggs. Advantages: increases speed of implementation of the ban on conventional cages satisfy the freedom of choice for consumers reduces production in cage systems reduces import from third countries

More Humanity towards Animals Council Directive 1999/74/EC – Support for labeling extension THANK YOU
