Battery farming of hens has been illegal since 2012 in the EU, although enforcement might be lacking in some countries.

There is exception to that called "Furnished cage" which is allowed in EU, through some countries has banned it. Sweden is not one of them.

To copy the text from wikipedia: "A number of countries have later adopted regulations to completely ban cage farming (including the furnished cage option), for example Switzerland, Germany and the UK with a transition period to 2025. "
