"Just over 10 years ago, the European Union passed a directive intended to protect laying hens from the appalling rearing conditions in which too many farms were keeping them. Basing their argument on the significant deterioration of the situation in the sector, undermined by rising feed prices caused by cereals market speculation, a number of Member States have requested a review of the directive. It should be applied no later than 2012. Two years away from the deadline, many farms are nowhere near meeting the new standards. Parliament’s current resolution calls on the Commission to stand firm on this issue. It welcomes the consultation that the Commission has initiated with professionals from the sector, but urges the Commission to refuse the additional time that some farmers are requesting. It has been 10 years since the directive entered into force."@en1
