Mission Statement
The European Forum for Animal Welfare Councils aims to promote sound scientific and ethical advice about animal welfare. It provides a platform for debate, for sharing information and views and a network for members of the Animal Welfare Councils throughout Europe.
Aims
Exchanging views and knowledge
-
To exchange views and knowledge to help in the formulation of advice about animal welfare by national Councils.
-
To exchange views informally and in a non-binding way – which is of particular importance to those there representing Government Departments rather than an independent Council.
-
To hold discussions and raise issues that might be beyond national comfort zones, without members feeling the need to qualify their statements with national interests.
-
To share information about animal welfare priorities and work already carried out.
Exchanging best practices
-
To exchange information on the organisation and structures of Animal Welfare Councils in Europe.
-
To promote best practice for efficiency of Animal Welfare Councils in Europe.
-
To promote the use of Animal Welfare Councils to advise Governments in countries where they were yet to be established.
