Feasibility study on animal welfare labelling and establishing a Community Reference Centre for Animal Protection and Welfare
|
|
Project summary:
In recent years, certification schemes have been widely introduced into the European agrifood
sector. The Community Action Plan on the Protection and Welfare of Animals 2006 –
2010 highlights the importance of consumer information as part of a comprehensive
communication strategy on animal welfare. Enabling consumers to make informed purchasing
decisions has the potential to give an economic incentive to industry to improve the welfare of
animals. The Directorate-General for Health and Consumers of the European Commission
commissioned this study to assess the feasibility of different options for indicating
animal welfare related information on products of animal origin and for establishing a
Community Reference Centre for Animal Protection and Welfare.
