The European Commission obtained on 23 February 2004 official observer status within the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) at the first ever global conference on animal welfare bringing together the 166 member countries of the OIE and various OIE-affiliated international organisations. While the EU has always been involved in the work of the OIE, the observer status will now enable the Commission to advance the EU's view on all international animal health and welfare issues. |
