Mittetulundusühing Animal Policy International

Animal Policy International is a trade policy and advocacy organisation.​​ Our work sits at the intersection of international trade policy and animal welfare regulation. We research whether and how countries can require imported animal products to meet the welfare standards applied domestically. We analyse what trade law permits, how governments can defend the standards their citizens have democratically chosen, what import competition means for domestic producers, and how policymakers can design and implement welfare-based import requirements. Our research supports governments drafting import requirements, farming organisations assessing the impact of lower-welfare imports, and welfare groups engaging on the trade dimensions of welfare legislation.
