On behalf of all its members, the European Livestock and Meat Trades Union (UECBV) welcomes you to its website.
Who are we?
The European Livestock and Meat Trades Union (UECBV) is the EU voice of national federations representing livestock markets, livestock traders (cattle, horses, sheep, pigs), meat traders (beef, horse meat, sheep meat, pig meat), and the meat industry (slaughterhouses, cutting plants, meat preparation plants).
UECBV counts 50 national or regional federations in 24 out of the 27 Member States of the European Union, but also in United Kingdom, Japan, Norway, Switzerland and Ukraine. In total, some 20,000 firms of all sizes and over 230,000 jobs are represented within the UECBV and its national and international federations.
On his election in October 2023, the new president of the UECBV said:
"Meat is a very important part of the human diet. The European livestock and meat industry provides high-quality meat, which must be appreciated and respected in Europe. The UECBV is a key organisation to help turn the challenges we face into opportunities for the livestock and meat sector over the next decade." - Laurens Hoedemaker.
