Von der Leyen urged to deliver EU cage-farming ban in SOTEU address

A coalition presses Ursula von der Leyen to use her State of the European Union speech to propose a law ending caged animal farming, six years after a 1.4-million-signature European Citizens' Initiative. The Commission has repeatedly delayed legislation, and the SOTEU is seen as a key political moment to commit. The outcome is uncertain, but a commitment would signal a shift in EU agricultural policy.
