Goals / Remit
EFFAB represents the sector of animal breeding and reproduction in Europe. From ruminants to insects, from conventional to organic systems, and from small to global companies, our members aim to genetically improve farm animal species to better meet the challenges of sustainability and animal welfare. Technology, knowledge, responsible science, and innovation are key to our work and the future of farming.
Balanced and responsible breeding means finding a sustainable compromise for the people, the planet, and for farmed animals by including in breeding programs traits related to the health and welfare of animals, to reduce the environmental impacts and the use of resources, and to improve the quality of the animal products (milk, meat, fish meat and eggs) whilst keeping genetic diversity. The Code of good practices for Responsible and Balanced Breeding (Code EFABAR) developed by EFFAB for EFFAB members delivers the principles and criteria to implement modern animal breeding.Main EU files targeted
We have strong interest in EU policy initiatives and regulations related to sustainable terrestrial livestock farming and aquaculture, including Research & Innovation, and sustainable food systems.

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
