Looking to better understand the EU arena and the challenges ahead for the pet sector under this new EU term? EPO's recent published article "EPO voice has never been more important" in the December edition of Pet Worldwide should provide you some responses.
As highlighted in this article, this new EU term could be quite challenging for the pet sector. In this context, EPO is prepared to do its utmost to ensure that the interests and needs of the pet sector continues to be listened to in Brussels. EPO will continue to constructively engage with the EU authorities at large, thereby ensuring that both scientific based evidence and a multi-stakeholder approach are being used in the decision-making process.
The recently launched EPO Manifesto for 2024-29 is a good illustration of how important the pet sector is for pet lovers and pet owners, and more generally society at large.
While promoting the EPO Charter, EPO affirms the importance of responsible pet keeping and a responsible pet trade, regulated through responsible & sensible legislation.
