Animal Welfare
The European Commission has been promoting Animal Welfare for more than 40 years, during which time the lives of farm animals has been gradually improved.

The European Union is currently leading the application of Animal Welfare measures worldwide.

The Farm2Fork Strategy adopted by the Commission on 20 May 2020 announced that the Commission would review legislation on animal welfare by the end of 2023 to adapt it to the most recent scientific tests. Furthermore, the review will extend its scope, facilitate its application and, ultimately, guarantee a higher level of animal welfare.

In order to promote dialogue among competent authorities, businesses, civil society and scientists on Animal Welfare issues that are relevant at an EU level, a panel of experts was set up in 2017 within the «EU Platform on Animal Welfare».

On 15 December 2020, the Agriculture and Fisheries Council approved the conclusions for an EU-wide Animal Welfare label, highlighting the overarching objective of improving Animal Welfare for as many food-producing animals as possible.
