"After 1 January 2012, eggs laid by hens kept in battery cages of less than 550 cm will no longer be sold. However, many factory farms are still not up to standard. There could be a shortage of eggs and rising consumer prices in cases where some Member States are not ready to comply with the ban. This would also lead to increased imports of eggs from third countries, which do not always abide by European health standards. That is why Parliament has sounded the alarm. Producers and Member States have been called to order so that they will act quickly, particularly considering that, to date, they have had more than 12 years to comply with legislation. Producers who have made investments in order to comply, and breeders of free-range hens, should enjoy fair competition within the European Union."@en1
