The question is whether it is enough to rely on the ongoing EU review of animal-welfare legislation and continued government lobbying, or whether parliament should demand more concrete and far-reaching EU reforms - such as banning cage housing (especially for hens), banning routine tail-docking of pigs, and capping animal transport at eight hours - to bring EU standards up to Sweden's level.
