The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) organised its first plenary session on 23 October in Paris to start the development of global standards for animal welfare. The standards are expected to be completed by October 2013.
While the plenary clarified that the new standards have no intention to impede the operation of other private standards on animal welfare, Eurogroup welcomes the initiative announced by ISO to provide standards that will act as a global tool for animal welfare management rather than just a prescriptive standard.
