Theme: “How European Union Reference Centres for Animal Welfare could be organized.”

Background
Since 2006 the EU Commission and the Parliament have considered on an establishment of a specific Information Platform for Animal Welfare in order to facilitate dialogue and the exchange of expertise-experience between stakeholders such as consumers, producers, retailers, industry etc.

They have also worked with proposals of new rules regarding the Official Control in the Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 to enter into force in the first quarter of 2017 and to be applicable by 2020. In the revision there are two articles, 95 (Appointment of European Union's reference centres for animal welfare); and 96 (The responsibilities and tasks of the European Union's reference centres for animal welfare). The Commission shall organize EU references centres for animal welfare in member states of European Union.
With this as a background, The Nordic network for Communicating Animal Welfare (NordCAW) is arranging a seminar/workshop 1 of December 2016 with the theme “How European Union Reference Centres for Animal Welfare could be organized”.
