Goals / Remit
The EU Dog & Cat Alliance was created in 2014. Our members are organisations from across the EU and the UK, including veterinary organisations, organisations which are involved in the rescue/rehoming of dogs and cats and organisations which are working to protect dog and/or cat welfare. The Alliance’s main focus is on improving EU legislation in relation to dogs and cats. We aim to:
- Lobby the European Union to introduce and improve EU legislation in relation to dogs and cats, and engage in other EU activities;
- Engage with other key EU stakeholders and collaborate wherever possible to improve the welfare of dogs and cats in the EU;
- Provide a constructive platform for the sharing of information on dog and cat welfare issues between our members;
- Gather robust evidence on the dog and cat issues we work on and produce reports and briefings to support our position.

This budget has been entered into the Transparency Register under Dogs Trust.

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.
