The Animal Welfare Councils were set up by several European countries to provide national governments with technical and scientific support in relation to animal welfare.
The EuroFAWC platform was created in 2006 to share and exchange information between the European members of the Animal Welfare Councils.
Around 25 international experts coming from Member Countries (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and Sweden), Candidate Countries (The Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia) and EFTA countries (Norway) participated in the meeting.
