This pilot project is particularly relevant in the context of the Commission’s commitment, in response to the European Citizen’s Initiative End the Cage Age’ to propose legislation to phase out the use of cages for laying hens (and other species). The project aimed to help EU producers to convert conventional egg production systems to higher-welfare alternative systems and to guarantee them that they stay in business by providing practical guidance and recommendations on economic aspects. The findings of this project will also be used by the Commission in the current revision of the animal welfare legislation.

The conference will be web streamed in English: https://webcast.ec.europa.eu/best-practices-for-transitioning-to-higher-welfare-cage-free-egg-production-systems-2023-05-03. Registration or password is not required to follow web streaming.
