Pig on full split floats has been heating the mind for years. An already negotiated prohibition was collected again last year by the Constitutional Court (VFGH). The Sugar Government now has a new attempt.
The new compromise stipulates that the attitude on full column floors on 1 June 2034 – seven years earlier is originally planned. From 2027 the work will be worked on a new legal minimum standard on the basis of scientific knowledge, according to a statement that the “Kroon” has.
From 1 June 2029, the first improvements must also be felt in the stables. More space is planned for per animal and mandatory organic employment material such as Strohraufen or hemp tires. Pigs of more than 85 kg receive at least 0.8 m² (instead of 0.7 m²). “This improves livestock farming sustainably and at the same time creates legal certainty and planning perspective for agriculture,” it continues.
There will only be exceptions for 162 such cases. Resources: For companies that have built their stables after 2018, a “actually justified exception to the maximum useful life of 16 years” applies. In this way the switch can be postponed until 2038.
The new regulation of the entire column prohibition was necessary because the previous transition period until 2040 was not too long and objectively justified according to the Constitutional Court (VFGH). With the current agreement, livestock farming will be sustainably improved according to the sugary coalition of the ÖVP, Spö and Neos and at the same time create legal certainty and planning perspective for agriculture.
