  6. EAAP Introduction • The goal is to promote improvement of the technical and economic conditions of animal production • EAAP stimulates active cooperation among animal scientists from different member countries European Association for Animal Production - A. Rosati

  7. The member organizations must represent the professional interests of: EAAP Introduction European Association for Animal Production - A. Rosati

  8. EAAP Introduction • The six fundamental objectives of EAAP are: 1. to promote advancement of scientific research and sustainable development of animal industry 2. to promote experimentation, application and extension European Association for Animal Production - A. Rosati

  9. EAAP Introduction 3. to improve technical and economic conditions of the livestock sector 4. to improve welfare of farm animals and the conservation of the rural environment European Association for Animal Production - A. Rosati

  10. EAAP Introduction 5. to control and optimize the use of natural resources in general and animal genetic resources in particular 6. to encourage the involvement of young scientists and technicians European Association for Animal Production - A. Rosati

  15. Present Situation of Working Groups • Every wg must have the Terms of Reference • Level of activity of the wgs is variable • Participation of members to activities is also very variable • Activities of wgs depend much on the leadership (for the efficiency of the chair) European Association for Animal Production - A. Rosati

  16. Present Situation of Working Groups • Few new wgs were formed in the last years • No existing wg had significantly changed the interest • Many interesting new subjects can be dealt by new wgs: poultry, aquaculture, EU relationship, … European Association for Animal Production - A. Rosati

  17. Animal Fiber Working Group • The Council established the new wg on Animal Fiber • Nomination of a Carlo Renieri as convenor for planning of the new group • The Council establishes the ToR, such as: • Organizations of workshops • Publication of books and articles • Dissemination through EAAP means • Participation in international projects European Association for Animal Production - A. Rosati

  18. New Organization of Working Groups • The wg should be coordinated with Study Commissions • The wg should be composed of maximum six members (1 President, 1 or 2 Vice-Presidents, 1 Secretary) • Members are only for EAAP countries • All charges are for three years, renewable once European Association for Animal Production - A. Rosati

  19. New Organization of Working Groups • Members of the wg will have on-line free access to Animal • Wgs reports their activities to the Council and to the General Assembly • One meeting per year of the wg is required, other forms of meeting (i.e. electronic) might be necessary European Association for Animal Production - A. Rosati
