British egg farmers with egg on their faces, as the European Commission reveal up to half a million hens are still kept in banned battery cages on home soil.

Caz Graham hears from Compassion in World Farming who say they're disappointed after 12 years that the UK hasn't made the deadline. The British Egg Industry Council defends its moral high ground, saying only 1% of egg producers haven't converted and that all British Lion Eggs are within the law.

But with 14% of egg production across Europe now illegal, Farming Today asks the European Commission what penalties the 15 non-compliant countries will face.
