Brussels rethinks animal welfare plans over food cost concerns
14 September, 2023
The EU's proposed prohibition on the utilization of cages in agriculture has been postponed. Initially disclosed by the Financial Times, it was revealed that the EU is contemplating abandoning its intentions for more stringent animal welfare regulations, including the prohibition of caged farming. This reconsideration is prompted by the economic strain caused by rising cost of living, with potential consequences like the restriction of numerous imports from trade partners such as Brazil, Ukraine, and Thailand.
