The European Rabbit Association (ERA), representing rabbit farmers and processors from several European countries, has been launched on Europe Day, May 9, to advocate for the sector's interests in Brussels. The association aims to address issues related to the sector, especially in response to the upcoming revision of animal welfare regulations under the 'farm to table' strategy. The Spanish rabbit sector views the establishment of ERA as a success, emphasizing its role in improving sector conditions and ensuring quality, food safety, and animal welfare in rabbit meat production.
