Preview: In 2024, the European Commission established the Animal Welfare Expert Group to assist the Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety in the preparation of legislative proposals and policy initiatives, as well as in the preparation of delegated acts in the field of animal welfare.
The expert group, consisting of Member States and EEA/EFTA countries, will also be a forum for exchanges on matters related to the enforcement and application of the EU animal welfare legislation, to ensure a more harmonised approach to official controls and a more coherent compliance with the common rules.
