Question concerning the transposition of Council Directive 2008/120/EC laying down minimum standards for the protection of pigs

15.11.2013

Question for written answer E-013018-13
to the Commission
Rule 117
Martin Häusling (Verts/ALE)

1. Can the Commission provide information concerning the status of the transposition of Directive 2008/120/EC laying down minimum standards for the protection of pigs? The transitional arrangements relating to keeping pigs/sows expired at the end of 2012. It would therefore be interesting to know which Member States have not yet completed the transposition in accordance with the requirements.

2. What steps has the Commission taken/will it take in respect of those Member States that have not yet fully transposed the directive?
