Dr Urška Ratajc, Head of the EBA’s Scientific Committees, Appointed to the Copa Cogeca’s Honey Working Party as Slovenian Beekeepers’ Association Representative
In July, the Cooperative Union of Slovenia (Zadružna zveza Slovenije, ZZS) appointed Dr Urška Ratajc, a representative of the Slovenian Beekeepers’ Association (Čebelarska zveza Slovenije, ČZS) and Head of the Scientific Committees of the EBA, to the Copa Cogeca Honey Working Party. Copa Cogeca is an international organization that unites European farmers (Copa) and agricultural cooperatives (Cogeca) to advocate for the interests of the agricultural sector within the European Union. One of their specialized working groups focuses exclusively on honey. Slovenian Beekeepers’ Association has previously collaborated successfully with Copa Cogeca through Cooperative Union of Slovenia particularly on key issues related to honey origin labeling. We are confident that this fruitful cooperation will continue, and we look forward to working together to achieve significant advancements for beekeepers.
From before, the EBA already has a vice-president of the WP in its membership. This is the president of the DIB, Mr. Ellman Torsten from Germany.
