José Bové MEP (Greens), Dan Jorgensen
MEP (S&D) and Janusz Wojciechowski MEP (ECR)
invite you to attend and support the above event
which is lobbying for changes in EU agricultural policy.
Please invite your MEPs (Click here for instructions)
and contacts in the European Commission etc to attend
and, if appropriate, recommend that your members write
to their regional MEPs asking them to attend
(Click here for an example).
The event will ask MEPs to:
- Recognise that the profitability of factory farming depends on
externalising its true costs onto the broader community.
- Amend the Common Agricultural Policy post 2013 to move
European agriculture away from industrial livestock production
to sustainable, humane and autonomous forms of animal husbandry.
- Better enforce and strengthen the existing EU Directive on the
welfare of pigs.
We are inviting MEPs, including those on the agriculture and environment
committees, commissioners, political advisors, industry, press and NGOs.
