Goals / Remit
Groupe Avril was formed in 1983 at the initiative of the French federation of oilseed and protein crop producers. Originally a financial establishment for the French vegetable oil and protein subsidiary, Proléa, the group's investments and acquisitions have made it a major agri-food group in France today.
In creating Avril, the agri-food industry wanted to join forces on a common project : encouraging the development of France’s agriculture and agri-food industry by creating and distributing value equally within the vegetable oil and protein industry. Avril’s goal is to help create value at each level of the industry so that everyone can live better from their work.Main EU files targeted

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.
