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.

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.
The Institute’s legal team was quoted in a report by the investigative media outlet Solomon regarding the recent mass slaughter of animals in Greece, carried out despite effective alternatives, in an effort to preserve the country’s trading capabilities.
The Brussels Times was side by side with us in shock that there was no mention of animal welfare in the European Commission’s 2026 Work Programme last week.
