Greece has been ordered to pay the costs of the case but the Commission has not asked the court to also impose a fine. This is similar to the result we got in the case against Italy.

Duncan Priestner, NFU Poultry Board Chairman said: "It’s disappointing that Greece has got away with producing illegal eggs for so long with absolutely no consequence for the country or the producers.

British farmers have invested heavily to comply with the legislation and it has been an unfair playing field."
