Conference: “The welfare of dogs and cats in the EU - Building a Europe that cares for companion animals"
We have the pleasure to announce the first conference of EU Commission on “the welfare of dogs and cats in the EU”, which will take place on 28 October 2013 in the Charlemagne building (Brussels).
VIER PFOTEN/ FOUR PAWS International with its European Policy Office is partner of the conference.
We welcome the fact that the EU Commission is giving more attention to cats and dogs. The consideration of these animals at the EU level is also asked since many years by EU Citizens, represented by NGOs - also by VIER PFOTEN - and the European Parliament. In 2010 and 2012, the EU Council mandated the EU Commission to include cats and dogs into the Animal Welfare Strategy and to initiate research projects.
Registration is free of charge, however seats are in limited number.
