On 26 February 2015, the parties involved in stopping the castration of male piglets met in Brussels.
During the morning programme, the members of the various expert groups reported on the progress of their fields of interest. During the afternoon, two workshops discussed the biggest challenges: consumer and market acceptance, and the creation of market confidence using good detection methods.
All the presentations made at the Brussels workshops have been posted to the EU website. http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/health_food-safety/information_sources/docs/ahw/20150226_ahw_pig-castration_agenda_en.pdf
