Mitteilung der Kommission über die Europäische Bürgerinitiative (EBI) "Pelzfreies Europa" K(2023)8362 endg.

This procedure is a formal response from the European Commission to a European Citizens' Initiative (ECI) titled 'Fur-Free Europe'. It addresses the request from EU citizens to ban the farming, selling, and importing of animal fur within the European Union to improve animal welfare and ethics. The proposal primarily affects the fur farming industry and traders of animal skins. If adopted, it would lead to a transition toward fur-free alternatives across all EU member states.
