There are just over three weeks to go until our Brussels conference, “Animal Protection and EU Law: Recent Developments and Prospective Change.”
Co-organized with the Fondation Droit Animal, Éthique & Sciences (LFDA), the day-long gathering on Tuesday 18th November will take stock of the announcements made by the European Commission and the Member States in the context of the revision (“modernization”) of EU animal welfare legislation.
The speakers and panel members – who will include policymakers from the EU institutions, animal advocacy representatives, and academics – will propose solutions to ensure the announced modernization delivers optimal results for animals, including identifying convergence opportunities between animal protection and economic objectives, such as fair competition and economic efficiency.

Registration is now open for June’s UK Animal Law Conference, at which our Executive Director, Alice Di Concetto, will be giving a presentation on animals in economic law with Professor Aude Solveig Epstein. Co-organised by the UK Centre for Animal Law (A-law) and the Multispecies Collective.
Alice Di Concetto (Chief Legal Advisor) was quoted in an investigative report published in Voxeurop about the thousands of farmed animals who perished in floods in Europe.
Ahead of the first “Food Dialogue,” which will take place on March 5th at the Commission, we joined forced with 15 civil society organizations and sent a joint letter to Commissioners Stéphane Séjourné, Christophe Hansen, and Oliver Varhelyi urging them to take strong measures regarding public food procurement in the EU.
