European Court of Auditors: there are still have weaknesses in the treatment of farm animals
EU action on animal welfare has been successful in several respects, but there are still some shortcomings in the treatment of farm animals, the European Court of Auditors said in a report published on Wednesday.
The report states that the European Commission has published guidelines on animal transport and slaughter and the welfare of pigs, but there is still a wide gap between objectives and practical implementation. In their view, the Member States generally implement the recommendations of the EU Committee, but sometimes it takes a long time. (MTI)
