EPO at the Green Week

Following the EPO Board Meeting held on January 19th, 2026 in Berlin, EPO Board Members and the Secretary General attended Green Week Berlin alongside ZZF.

The event provided a valuable opportunity to engage directly with key stakeholders from the pet sector and policymakers on important sustainability topics, including the recent changes to the EU Deforestation Regulation. Exchanges took place with stakeholders such as Alois Rainer, German Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture; Dieter Stier, Member of the Deutscher Bundestag and its Committee on Agriculture; as well as representatives of the Bundesverband Praktizierender Tierärzte (BPT), among others.

These discussions highlighted the value of constructive dialogue between decision-makers and the pet sector, both at national and European level, in order to support sustainable, science-based, and well-balanced policymaking.
