On Wednesday 20th November 2019, Intergroup members Pascal Durand (Renew Europe, France), Sylwia Spurek (S&D, Poland) and Ville Niinistö (Greens/EFA, Finland) will host a roundtable debate at the European Parliament on the welfare of animals on EU fur farms. At this event, Humane Society International, One Voice and Oikeutta Eläimille will present recent film footage from Finnish and French fur farms, which provide documentary evidence that fur farms are not in compliance with the requirements of EU Directive 98/58/EC on the protection of animals kept for farming purposes.
The event will bring together invited representatives of the European fur industry, the European Commission, EU Member States and animal protection NGOs to discuss the animal welfare problems associated with fur farming and the implementation of Directive 98/58/EC.
