]]> The European Union is facing growing scrutiny over its delayed response to the European Citizens’ Initiative Fur Free Europe, which calls for a ban on fur farming and the placing of fur products on the EU market.
Supported by over 1.5 million validated signatures, the initiative represents one of the strongest expressions of public demand on animal welfare at EU level.
These long-anticipated measures were expected to reach a decisive stage by March 2026. However, to date, no concrete decision has been adopted.
The decision has now been postponed, with indications that a communication may be expected in April 2026. To date, no official proposal or clear direction has been presented.
Such delays are not merely procedural. They have direct consequences for millions of animals that continue to be kept and killed in fur farming systems across Europe.
At the same time, concerns have been raised regarding transparency and balance in the decision-making process, including calls for greater impartiality and accountability.

A Clear Demand from European Citizens

The Fur Free Europe reflects a clear and growing demand across Europe to end practices that cause significant animal suffering.
Fur farming involves the confinement of animals such as mink and foxes in small wire cages, severely restricting their ability to express natural behaviours and often leading to stress, injury, and disease. These conditions have been widely documented and criticised by scientists, civil society, and several Member States.
OIPA ETS has supported this initiative since its launch, alongside a broad coalition of animal protection organizations across Europe, reaffirming its longstanding position against the exploitation of animals for fur production.

A Wider Context: Delays Across Animal Welfare Policies

The delay on fur cannot be seen in isolation. Similar concerns have emerged in relation to other key animal welfare commitments, including the long-promised phase-out of cages in farming systems under the European Citizens’ Initiative End the Cage Age.
Supported by over 1.4 million validated signatures, this initiative further demonstrates the scale of public demand for stronger animal welfare protections across the European Union.
Together, these initiatives represent nearly 3 million European citizens calling for more humane policies.
Despite previous commitments from the European Commission, the legislative proposal on cages has yet to be presented. Originally expected in earlier years, it remains absent to date.

OIPA Calls for Immediate and Concrete Action

OIPA calls on the European Commission and EU institutions to:
•Deliver without further delay a clear and transparent response to the Fur Free Europe initiative
•Take decisive steps towards banning fur farming across the EU
•Consider a prohibition on the placing of fur products on the EU market
•Ensure full transparency and accountability in the decision-making process
•Align animal welfare policies with scientific evidence and citizens’ expectations
At a time when public demand for higher animal welfare standards is stronger than ever, further delays risk sending a clear and concerning signal: that commitments made at EU level are not being translated into concrete action.

]]> The European Commission is approaching a critical institutional milestone in response to the Fur Free Europe European Citizens’ Initiative, which gathered over 1.5 million verified signatures across the European Union calling for a ban on fur farming and on the placing of farmed fur products on the EU market. Launched in 2022 and formally submitted in 2023, the initiative represents one of the most significant citizen-driven actions on animal welfare at EU level in recent years.

Under the European Citizens’ Initiative framework, the Commission is required to examine the proposal and outline the measures it intends to take. In its preliminary response, the Commission indicated that it is assessing different policy scenarios, ranging from a full phase-out of fur farming after a transitional period to alternative regulatory options. A final position is expected by March 2026.

As part of the evaluation process, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was asked to provide a scientific opinion on the welfare of animals farmed for fur, including mink, foxes, raccoon dogs and chinchillas. The assessment examined whether current farming systems are capable of meeting the behavioural and physiological needs of these species. The scientific findings now form part of the broader impact analysis that will inform the Commission’s decision.

The debate takes place within a changing European landscape. Several Member States have already introduced national bans or restrictions on fur farming, reflecting a broader shift in public opinion and political priorities. Civil society organisations across Europe have highlighted that an EU-wide approach would ensure harmonised standards, prevent internal market distortions and respond coherently to citizens’ demands.

OIPA ETS  has supported the Fur Free Europe initiative since its launch, advocating for legislation that aligns ethical responsibility, scientific evidence and evolving societal expectations. The forthcoming decision will not only affect the future of fur farming in Europe, but will also serve as an important test of how European institutions respond to large-scale democratic mobilisation.

OIPA will continue to monitor institutional developments and provide updates as the Commission prepares its final determination.

WHAT CAN YOU DO ?

The fur market in Europe is in significant decline, yet thousands of animals continue to suffer every year in fur farms. OIPA is actively engaged at national and EU level to advocate for a definitive ban on fur farming and the marketing of fur products, through policy work, institutional dialogue, and public awareness activities.

cruelty is no more fashion

Dear sir,

fur and fur trims such as neck fur, stoles, coats, ponchos, shawls, scarfs, bags, hats, fur hats, legwarmers, gloves, belts, even keyrings and cell phone covers, hide enormous animal suffering. Both for how the animals are raised (small cages, cold, non-existent hygienic-sanitary conditions, confinement has severe psychological implications, fear), and killed (electrocution, nape shot, gas poisoning, hammer blow on the muzzle, nail stick into the front, drowning). These animals are foxes, ermines, minks, chinchilla , rabbits and many other animals such as cats and dogs. In some Oriental countries, such as China, animals are skinned alive! Many designers took the ethical decision to stop using fur and fur trims in their collections. What are you waiting for? I commit to spread the atrocities that you indirectly support, and will tell all my friends and family to boycott you until you go fur-free and stop exploit animals for their skins Sincerely.
