Euro Foie Gras back to Strasbourg to continue making its voice heard

On 12 March 2025, members of Euro Foie Gras (EFG) travelled to Strasbourg for the European Parliament’s plenary session to meet MEPs. These meetings provided an opportunity to exchange views with a wide range of policy makers on the key issues for the sector that are currently or soon to be debated by the EU institutions. They followed the publication of the Vision for Agriculture and Food, a document in which the European Commission rightly emphasises that ‘livestock farming is and will remain an essential element of agriculture, competitiveness and cohesion in the EU’.

The day following these fascinating and fruitful discussions, the EFG Board of Directors gathered. The meeting allowed national delegations to assess the sector’s sanitary and economic situation, review their successful collaborative efforts to promote foie gras, and plan future activities for the association. The sector notably welcomed the significant increase in production in 2024 and the successful vaccination campaign in France to prevent avian influenza.
