The directive, passed in 1999, banned conventional battery cages in the EU from January 1st 2012 after a 13 year phase out. Battery cages were already banned in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden prior to 2012. The directive does not apply to establishments with fewer than 350 laying hens or establishments rearing breeding laying hens. Such establishments are, however, subject to the requirements of Directive 98 58 EC. The directive is not supported with fines, penalties or export bans. As alternatives to battery cages, Directive 1999 74 EC allows non cage systems and furnished cages . Furnished cages therefore represent a feasible alternative to battery cages in the EU after 2012. Under the directive, furnished cages must provide at least the following 750  cm sup 2 sup per hen, of which 600  cm sup 2 sup is 45  cm high, a nest, a littered area for scratching and pecking, 15  cm of perch and 12  cm of food trough per hen and a claw shortening device. Austria banned battery cages in 2009 and is set to ban furnished cages by 2020. Belgium has also banned the battery cage and proposes to ban furnished cages by 2024.

File Europ ische Zollunion.svg thumb right The EuropeanUnion Customs Union The EuropeanUnion Customs Union EUCU is a customs union which consists of all the Member States of the EuropeanUnion EU and a number of surrounding countries. The customs union is a principal task of the European Economic Community , established in 1958, and now succeeded by the EuropeanUnion . No customs are levied on goods travelling within the customs union and unlike a free trade area members of the customs union impose a common external tariff on all goods entering the union. One of the consequences of the customs union is that the EuropeanUnion has to negotiate as a single entity in international trade deals such as the World Trade Organization World Trade Organisation . Non EU members EU applicant Turkey and Microstates and the EuropeanUnion three bordering microstates Andorra , Monaco , and San Marino are in customs union with the EU. ref Article 3 1 of Council Regulation 2913 92 EEC of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code as amended OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1 50 http eur lex.europa.eu LexUriServ LexUriServ.do?uri CELEX 31992R2913 EN NOT . ref class wikitable State Agreement Date ...

The councils are GA General Affairs JHA Justice and Home Affairs ERC Education, Research and Culture ERID External Relations and International Development ECOFIN Economic and Financial Affairs EET Environment, Energy and Transport Outcomes Political debate in the committees of the Council is supposed to result in proposals by the commission to be accepted, amended or rejected.
