Written question – Lysine 1 – P-001590/2025

Priority question for written answer  P-001590/2025/rev.1
to the Commission
Rule 144
Asger Christensen (Renew)

• 1.Does the Commission agree that lysine is a feed additive that is necessary for livestock health and growth, as well as for reducing soya consumption, nitrogen emissions and, potentially, consumption of antibiotics?
• 2.Does the Commission similarly agree that no additional costs should be imposed on European livestock production and that access to lysine at competitive prices is vital?
• 3.EU self-sufficiency in lysine is low: only one firm produces about 20% of what is consumed. Accordingly, can the Commission say whether anti-dumping duties on lysine from China have resulted in higher production costs in the EU, alternative markets being unable to meet demand?
