Hungary will finish the modernization of hen cages for time

Hungary finishes the modernization of hen cages until the July 31 deadline – the Ministry of Rural Development (VM) informed MTI.

14 EU member states including Hungary could not meet the deadline of the full introduction of the new standards. Because of the related difficulties associated with the change, in October 2011 the European Commission proposed that those farmers who started the transition in 2011, could obtain a further seven-month transition period.
