serious problems. The committee also concluded that the severe feed restrictions to which broiler breeders
are subjected result in unacceptable welfare problems and that the welfare of breeding birds must be
improved.

Moreover, at the November 2000 meeting of the Agriculture Council, several delegations urged the
Commission to prepare as quickly as possible a proposal for a Directive on the protection of broiler
chickens.

In light of these developments, when does the Commission intend to prepare a proposal for a Council
Directive to address the broiler health and welfare problems highlighted by the Scientific Committee(cid:146)s
report?

Answer given by Mr Byrne on behalf of the Commission

The Commission refers the Honourable Member to the joint reply it gave to Written Questions E-1809/00
