We are excited to announce a conference we’re co-organizing with the Fondation Droit Animal, Éthique & Sciences (LFDA), “Animal Protection and EU Law: Recent Developments and Prospective Change.”

Held at Brussels’ Residence Palace, 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.
