Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 326 consultation files tracked so far (29,503 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.

Who they are

Among the 1205 trade and business associations on this site, they rank #1002 by legislative files engaged — a count of participation, not a measure of influence.

Everything on this page comes from European Pet Organization (EPO)’s own submissions to the European Commission — we have added nothing and interpreted nothing.
