DeHavilland EU launches its animal welfare open content week

DeHavilland EU, the leading provider of political intelligence and monitoring services, has launched its animal welfare open content week. This is a unique initiative to provide public affairs professionals with complimentary access to a range of specialist services for one week only. A wide range of sectors, such as food & feed, animal health, research and transport will be affected.

Helene Champagne, DeHavilland EU Director explains, “Animal welfare has become an increasingly important subject in the EU. A recent DG SANCO survey showed that 64% of consumers in Europe are concerned about it. In response, the European Commission is preparing a new comprehensive new Strategy for Animal Welfare 2011-2014 expected for December.”

She goes on to say, “In order to stimulate the EU debate, we will be showcasing our services for free, from 10th-14th October 2011. This is a great opportunity for Public Affairs professionals to gain access to our political monitoring and legislation tracking services as well as our political research support and contact management database, PeoplePoint.” A drop-in info session with refreshments will be held at our offices on Friday 14 October 2011 during lunch time.
