Abstract: Scope of Consultation
EFSA's ALPHA unit is launching a Public Consultation with the aim to involve stakeholders in our ongoing work on the Farm to Fork mandate on the protection of pigs on farm. EFSA will be interested in stakeholders' opinion on whether the current draft opinion covers relevant husbandry systems and practices for keeping pigs. We are also interested in stakeholders' opinion on our interpretation of the mandate specific scenarios and on the exposure variables that were identified as the most relevant for further assessment.
The draft opinion shared with this public consultation represents part of the final opinion that will address the mandate. Adoption of the scientific opinion is scheduled for June 2022.
Interested parties are invited to submit their comments by the indicated deadline. When submitting the comments, specific reference to the section, No of the table, line and page numbers to which the related comments must be made.
