The European Commission has launched an internet consultation on the

welfare of farm animals, to assess the level of public awareness of animal

welfare issues, and to gauge how important they are for EU citizens. Questions

in the online survey cover the perceived level of animal welfare protection in

the EU, including for individual species, and where improvements could be made.

Other topics relate to the sources and quality of information on animal welfare,

and measures that could be taken at EU-level to heighten awareness on this

issue. Participants in the survey are also asked what results they would expect

to see if animal welfare standards were to become a greater consideration in

food production.

 

 

 

This online survey, which will run until December 11, is the second

initiative in the framework of the Commission's consultation on animal welfare,

following the gathering of comments from the Advisory Group on the Food Chain

and Animal and Plant Health in July. The Commission will adopt an Action Plan on

Animal Welfare in early December, and the results of this public consultation

will be published simultaneously.
