We’re delighted to announce the launch event of our upcoming White Paper with Almo Nature and Deutscher TierschutzBund, “The Protection of Cats and Dogs in EU Law – Companion for Life: From Ownership to Responsibility.”
The online launch event on Friday 17th October of the white paper “The Protection of Cats and Dogs in EU Law—Companion for Life: From Ownership to Responsibility” by Almo Nature and The European Institute for Animal Law & Policy will address these questions and more.
The white paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal protection applicable to cats and dogs under EU law, the improvements added by the new Regulation on the Protection of Cats and Dogs and their Traceability, and the opportunities to further improve it—as well as how to ensure it brings about its intended effects.
Join us for a discussion with EU policymakers and cats and dogs protection organizations from all over the EU.
The event will be hosted by MEP Dario Nardella.

Our conference, with LFDA, “Animal Protection and EU Law: Recent Developments and Prospective Change” in Brussels last week brought together over 50 participants from more than 30 organizations.
Hugo Menotti (Legal Advocacy Manager) authored a compelling analysis of a recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the EU that classifies animals on flights as baggage rather than as passengers.
There are just over three weeks to go until our Brussels conference, “Animal Protection and EU Law: Recent Developments and Prospective Change.”
