CEPA is the only organisation representing the pest control sector throughout Europe to the institutions of the European Union. Amongst its activities CEPA is producing a European training kit for technicians working in the pest control industry.
What is CEPA? When and why was CEPA set up? History has proved them right. Today some 80% of the legislation of each European Union member state comes from European Directives. CEPA was established to consult with key decision makers at source - at the European Parliament and the European Commission. Who are CEPA's members? CEPA has now 21 members (2002), 14 of them are national associations (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Slovenia, Switzerland and United-Kingdom) and 7 companies from different countries (Estonia, Finland, Greece, Lithuania, Sweden, Turkey and Yougoslavia). What are the aims and objectives of CEPA?
CEPA seeks to harmonise regulations governing the use and regulation of biocidal products, notably in the key area of training. CEPA is also involved in the study of technical and scientific problems arising from the use of biocidal products, and provides information both to its members and to the general public.

CEPA was set up in 1974 by the Belgian, British, Dutch, French and Spanish national associations. These organisations had the vision to see that national associations could not, by themselves, defend the interests of their members at a European level. 
CEPA is made up of national associations from European companies. In countries where no such association exists, pest control companies can join CEPA as Associates.
