28 June 2022, 16:30– 18:00 CET [Online briefing session]
This online briefing session was organised by the “Biodiversity, Hunting, Countryside” Intergroup in conjunction with the European Federation for Hunting and Conservation (FACE) and chaired by MEP Simone Schmiedtbauer.
It aimed at bringing together a variety of stakeholders to discuss a way forward for livestock farming and large carnivores in Europe. Existing conflicts range from livestock predation to wider concerns about Europe’s rural areas and traditional farming practices.
The topic has been on the EU policy agenda for many years but has resurfaced on the European Parliament’s policy agenda in 2022. Amongst the key approaches to managing conflicts is to develop a constructive dialogue with stakeholders.
