The European Union of Wholesale with Eggs, Egg Products, Poultry and Game (EUWEP) is a specialized organization representing the interests of wholesale distributors, processors, and commercial operators involved in eggs, egg products, poultry, and game within the European Union. The EUWEP acts as a key lobbying entity to influence EU legislation, policy design, and market regulation impacting these sectors. The organization seeks to protect and assert the commercial and professional interests of its members by fostering collaboration and networking among stakeholders.
The EUWEP engages actively at the EU level to contribute towards legislation related to food safety, animal welfare, environmental standards, trade, and market access. The poultry and egg sectors under its scope are governed by numerous EU directives and regulations covering welfare standards, disease prevention, and trade controls. Given that the EU is among the top global producers and net exporters of poultry and eggs, the lobbying firm plays a crucial role in shaping a favorable regulatory landscape supporting competitiveness, sustainability, and innovation in these industries.
In addition to lobbying, EUWEP facilitates cooperation between members to optimize supply chains, manage risks such as disease outbreaks, and implement quality and safety standards aligned with EU law. The growing demand for alternative and organic poultry and egg products has also led EUWEP to advocate for balanced policies that support sector diversification while ensuring regulatory consistency. It also closely monitors international trade developments, particularly concerning export opportunities and compliance with importing countries’ standards.
Since registration in the EU Transparency Register, EUWEP has maintained a consistent presence in EU policy discussions, leveraging expert knowledge and industry data to inform policymakers. It works closely with affiliated organizations, industry associations, and regulatory bodies to align its advocacy efforts with broader agricultural and food policies of the EU. This networking broadens the influence of its positions on critical policy dossiers including the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), animal welfare, food safety, and environmental sustainability.
