The Brussels Effect: How EU Policy Tends to Influence Industry

The Brussels effect refers to the idea that EU policies can influence other countries.

There is some anecdotal evidence of EU standards influencing hygiene, stunning, slaughter, and animal welfare practices in Brazil, Argentina, Thailand, and China.

A meta analysis is needed to determine the overall effect size.
