Republic, Denmark, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and UK.
FEDFA has good lines of communication with all members and with appropriate
authorities in Brussels within the EU. FEDFA has been active in helping and
advising on the implementation of EU legislation affecting deer farmers.
In addition, FEDFA promotes improvements in deer farming and coordinates action
on welfare, breeding and disease control measures with particular emphasis on
research. Recently it has also turned its attention to the all important topic
of marketing.
Membership is open to all EU national deer farmers' associations and other
European countries with Management Committee approval. Although national
associations must continue to be responsible for the interests of their own
members, FEDFA is recognised as the first point of contact for matters affecting
deer farming on a European and International basis.

the Presidency circulates round member countries and is currently held by
Scotland. FEDFA Ltd. was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee in October 1996.

industry and seeking to siden this influence by attracting members from all
European countries both inside and outside the European Union.
FEDFA has a discussion group for national representatives powered by
