IFAH-Europe (International Federation for Animal Health Europe) is the federation representing manufacturers of veterinary medicines, vaccines and other animal health products in Europe. It represents both corporate members and national animal health associations in Europe. These associations comprise both local medium-size enterprises (SMEs) and international companies. IFAH-Europe's membership covers 90% of the European market for veterinary products.
We are committed to engaging with the EU institutions, stakeholders including veterinarians, farmers, pet owners, as well as the media and other partners to ensure a working relationship based on mutual trust and respect by: increasing awareness of the value animal health brings to society in terms of farm and companion animals, sustainable agriculture, safe food and diseases which can impact public health; and promoting a predictable, harmonised, science-based and innovative market place for quality animal medicines.
IFAH-Europe is a not-for-profit trade association. Its budget is financed by contributions from its members. IFAH-Europe is not financed by grants or procurement from EU institutions or other institutions.
In our Code of Good Practice, IFAH-Europe communicates its commitment to the Code of Conduct set out by the Interinstitutional Agreement on the Establishment of a Transparency Register and the required compliance to its Code of Conduct.
