Question for written answer  E-000994/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Daniel Buda (PPE)

The EU egg market has been hit by a crisis triggered by outbreaks of avian influenza, such as the recent one in Poland where millions of birds were slaughtered.

In view of the egg crisis in the EU, which has been exacerbated by the outbreaks of avian influenza that have significantly impacted production in countries such as Poland, what urgent measures will the Commission adopt to support the producers affected and ensure the stability of the agri-food market, including by capitalising upon sustainable production models on traditional small farms?
