European eggs vs North American eggs

On our first trip to the supermarket over here we had trouble finding the eggs.  Eventually we found them on an unrefridgerated shelf, in the baking section.  (Of course we immediately took them home and put the in the 'fridge.)

But why are eggs not required to be refrigerated here in Italy vs back home in Canada?  A mystery!  But apparently one that has a very interesting explanation:

And now we all know :-)
