EU poll: 75% back hen-cage ban by 2035 ahead of deadline

A new EU-wide poll of 25,080 adults across 25 member states shows 75% support for banning hen cages by 2035, ahead of the EU's 2027 phase-out deadline. The poll signals strong public pressure on the European Commission and member states to enforce or accelerate the ban, potentially affecting agricultural policy and trade negotiations. The result is consistent with prior public sentiment but adds fresh evidence of sustained political salience.
