An online event organized by The Brussels Times and animal rights organization GAIA, titled ‘Time for an EU Animal Welfare Commissioner’ has called for the creation of an Animal Welfare Commissioner. Although much of the discussion focused on animal welfare in the agricultural sector, the use of animals in scientific research was raised by Tilly Metz (Greens/EFA, Luxembourg), who argued that further animal welfare proposals were needed for the sector.
