Lobbying & Consultations


The Association is run by a Council of manufacturer’s representatives who are nominated and elected by the MEA members. Together, we ensure manufacturers, suppliers and distributors of milking equipment are represented at regular meetings that take place with UK and EU government officials, MPs, milk buyers, and other relevant organisations. This involvement also ensures that we are constantly in touch with any policies being considered.

The MEA participates in a large number of industry groups, including the Dairy Supply Chain Forum, Responsible Use of Medicines in Agriculture (RUMA), the Environmental Plan for Dairy Farming and the England Cattle Health and Welfare Group. We are also members of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Dairy Farming (APPG).
