THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE VARIOUS SYSTEMS TO KEEP LAYING HENSboth systems suggests that the enriched cage system will not operate at a significant costdisadvantage to the traditional battery cage.Overall and per capita consumption of eggs in the EU-15 has been rising since the mid-1990s and perhead use now stands at some 14.2 kg egg per year. The bulk of eggs in all markets are sold as shelleggs via the food retailing sector, but as consumer food purchasing and usage have shifted, increasingproportions of egg output are delivered to the consumer via food service (catering) outlets as well asin the form of processed products. The EU-15 as a whole produces just over 100% of its domesticegg requirements and is a marginal net exporter of eggs. Imports are limited by border protection inthe form of duties on shell eggs and processed products. This picture is not expected to changesignificantly within the EU-25 as most of the ten new Member States are also net exporters of eggsand egg products.A review of progress towards the 2012 ban on unenriched cage production indicates that to datelimited progress has been made in that most producers are awaiting the outcome of the review ofthe Directive in 2005. Thus, with the already noted exception of Sweden, there is only limitedproduction in enriched cages which are thought to be the most likely production system traditionalbattery cage producers would move towards in the first instance. The sector takes the view that thewidespread adoption of this system, or a move to alternative systems, will not occur much beforethe 2012 deadline. They also take the view that the ban on unenriched cages will acceleraterestructuring in the sector as older producers will no longer be willing to invest in new installations,particularly if current border protection is not maintained and lower cost eggs, and especially eggproducts, enter the market on a more competitive basis. Retailers generally took the view that therewas unlikely to be a large demand led shift towards eggs from non-caged outlets in the medium-term,although it was noted that surveys of consumers do suggest that at present there may be unrealisedpotential in this regard.These potential socio-economic impacts were tested through the construction of an econometricmodel of the EU-25 egg sector which analysed the economic impact of a range of alternativescenarios for the sector. The scenarios tested include changes in costs deriving from a shift inproduction system or other factors, reductions in border protection and changes in the type of eggsbeing demanded. The extensive range of scenarios for change reviewed provide a useful guide to thedirection and magnitudes of potential producer and consumer losses and gains as well as the tradeoffsinvolved in relation to a range of policy and market development possibilities. The results are aswould be expected a priori in that, for example, there are overall economic gains to consumers froma liberalisation of trade, but substantial losses for producers.Specifically as regards the assessment of the likely impact of an increase in costs as might occur ifthere were to be a shift into alternative egg production systems as a result of the implementation ofthe battery cage ban mandated for 2012 under Regulation 1999/74, the model indicates that for a20% increase in such costs, which is the magnitude of percentage increase in terms of variable costproducers are likely to face as a result of switching to free range production (slightly more than halfvi
THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE VARIOUS SYSTEMS TO KEEP LAYING HENSthis (12%) for barn production), the industry will potentially suffer a loss of producer surplus of €315million (EU-15) and €354 million (EU-25). However, many producers are likely to switch to enrichedcage production which will entail a smaller increase in production costs and will therefore mitigatethis loss to some extent. It should also be noted that under this scenario as costs increase quantitiesimported increase (by up to between 3-4% for a 20% increase in feed costs). This does not, however,significantly affect the overall scenario results because the quantity of eggs currently traded is verysmall in relation to the size of the overall egg market.In this context it should be borne in mind that these estimations of producer and consumer surplusmeasure only market effects and do not take into account the potentially much larger non-marketbenefits that society derives from improved animal welfare.vii
