La petición está dirigida a: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner reports that planning for intensive livestock farms has risen exponentially in Spain over the last few years with dire consequences for socioeconomic development and the environment, health and quality of life in the rural areas where they are located. She says the buffer zones between individual livestock farms and between farms and city centres are clearly insufficient. In her opinion, differences in individual Member States’ legislation encourage the growth of intensive livestock farms in countries where the rules are not so strict, as is the case in Spain.
