Contribution of the European Horse Network (EHN) to the Upcoming Proposal on European Agricultural Statistics
Published on 13/10/2025
Reintegrating Equines into European Agricultural Statistics: A Strong demand from the European Equine Sector The European Horse Network welcomes the call for contributions launched by the European Commission to define new rules for agricultural data collection for the period 2030–2039. For stakeholders in the sector, this upcoming regulation represents an opportunity to reintegrate equines into the list of livestock variables to be collected by Member States. Since the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2018/1091, equines have been excluded from this list. Through this contribution, the EHN wishes to draw the Commission’s attention to the significant long-term risk of losing knowledge and monitoring of equines within the European Union if they are not reintroduced into European agricultural statistics.

Meeting organised to look at other important issues linked to transparency and traceability, two concepts essential in the Equine industry to preserve the Health and Welfare of the Horses in Europe. We can make progress to reach a higher level of protection for horses from birth to end of life. This meeting offers an opportunity to reflect on what works for the equine sector, what gaps remain, and to lay the groundwork for a potential Parliament Own-Initiative Report on equine needs at EU level. Relevant experts from the equine sector are present today to inform us on how, as politicians, we can lead the way.
