The European Commission published the list on Friday 12 May of the 75 members of the EU Platform on Animal Welfare announced in January 2017 (see EUROPE 11710).
The inaugural meeting of the Platform is scheduled for 6 June.
The Platform brings together 75 member organisations from both the public and private sectors and relevant international intergovernmental organisations. Following a call for applications, the Commission selected a total of 40 members from academia, NGOs and industry. The other members of the Platform were nominated by competent authorities in the member states and EEA (European Economic Area) countries. Members were selected on the basis of their experience in improving animal welfare and their capacity for stakeholder outreach.
