The EU’s Court of Justice has decided to allow only some NGOs to join our landmark #EndTheCageAge legal case.

Banning cages matters for animals, the environment, consumers protection & our democracy.

European citizens demand high animal welfare standards, but will the Commission deliver on its 2021 commitment to #EndtheCageAge? Commissioner Várhelyi promises a 2026 proposal, but no concrete plans. MEPs urge action, not delays. We demand respect for the ECI now!

[The ECI Campaign 🇪🇺 @eci-in-action.bsky.social @ECIReform]

The End the Cage Age ECI gathered over 1.4 million signatures for the ban on cages for animals across the Union. Despite its huge success, the Commission has taken no concrete action yet, disappointing over 170 NGOs that led the campaign @forbes https://t.co/aboRleLTAG
