Information Bulletin

The England Implementation Group (EIG) has today released its report into the implementation of the Animal Health and Welfare Strategy.

The report looks at how stakeholders, industry and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) are implementing the Strategy across the board.

The Strategy launched in June 2004 and the EIG formed in the Summer of 2005. The first progress report was published in November 2006. This, the second report, introduces the England Implementation Plan, which brings together for the first time details of the wide range of actions to which the sector councils and others have committed to help deliver the Strategy.

The EIG is an independent advisory group, appointed by Defra.
