In this blog post published on the “Stop the Grind” website, Alice Di Concetto (Chief Legal Adviser), presents how the substantial support the Faroe Islands receive from the EU represents a potential leverage point that the EU could use to halt the Grind.
Our conference, with LFDA, “Animal Protection and EU Law: Recent Developments and Prospective Change” in Brussels last week brought together over 50 participants from more than 30 organizations.
Alice Di Concetto (Chief Legal Advisor) was quoted in Euractiv, together with other speakers, about the event that took place in the European Parliament on October 14th about efforts to criminalize the entry of illegally-sourced animals into the EU.
On October 17th, the Stop the Grind coalition will organize a webinar as part of Ocean Week. Hugo Menotti (Legal Advocacy Manager) will present on the opportunities that exist in EU international trade law to end the Grind in the Faroe Islands.
