Very interesting exchanges today on #RuralPoultry & #MarketingStandards.

Thank you to our Chair MEP @ClaraAguilera7; our speakers C.Terraz, L.Vizek, @MohamedBouzidi0, MEP @UliMuellerMdEP, K.Sprenger, @BirtheSteenberg, B.Drouin, MEP @carmenavram & moderator E.Cachan

[ERPA @Rural_Poultry]

We should bear in mind that the European #poultry sector is already operating with the highest standards.

- MEP @carmenavram

[ERPA @Rural_Poultry]

Consumers should get the right information on #animalwelfare and the environmental impact so they can make an informed choice.

There has been a larger and larger gap between what is happening in the farms and what the consumer knows.
- @BirtheSteenberg @AvecPoultry

[ERPA @Rural_Poultry]

Should the #MarketingStandards lead to a sustainable transition?

@BirtheSteenberg @AvecPoultry answers: yes, if we can agree on a definition of sustainability.

[ERPA @Rural_Poultry]

"#MarketingStandards should be used to explain to the consumer that food has a price. We need to maintain them."
- Benoît Drouin

[ERPA @Rural_Poultry]

#MarketingStandards can contribute to #FoodSafety, guarantee a level playing field & help inform consumers.

Most current standards on #poultry and eggs are efficient and should be maintained. Minor changes should be added.

- MEP @UliMuellerMdEP

[ERPA @Rural_Poultry]

"We are approaching the review of several #MarketingStandards. Whatever we amend will be done with a view on sustainability and #AnimalWelfare."

- Kai-Uwe Sprenger @EU_Commission

[ERPA @Rural_Poultry]

Lukas Visek, Member of Cabinet of F. Timmermans @TimmermansEU underlines the urgent need to move towards a more sustainable European agriculture system.
And consumers must be part of this transition.

[ERPA @Rural_Poultry]

🧐A clear and accurate #labelling is essential for consumers to be able to make informed choices.

They can then buy a product knowing precisely which production method has been used. #MarketingStandards #RuralPoultry
