Impact assessment of the revision of Directive 86/609/EEC
The objective of the impact assessment is to analyse, critically review and assess policy options, their impacts, testing the conclusions and providing justifiable and quantitative (where possible) indications as to the related benefits and costs.
Particular attention has been paid to Members State and Stakeholder inputs, especially the effects on industry competitiveness and research in the EU, administrative compliance cost and socio-economics on the one hand, and improvement in science and welfare of animals, the animal lives and individual animal suffering/distress on the other.
The impact assessment took place during 2006-2007.
