Annual report Council on animal affairs (RDA) 2015

The year 2015 was a distinctive year for the Council on Animal Affairs. It was the year in which an evaluation was delivered on its performance as an independent advisory body – an evaluation which endorsed the direction in which the Council has developed and at the same time encouraged the Minister to make more frequent and wider use of the Council.
