The European Beekeeping Association (EBA) and the European
Professional Beekeepers Association (EPBA) have sent a joint letter to
EU Agriculture Commissioner Christoph Hansen and EU Agriculture
Ministers, warning about the risk of fraudulent honey entering the EU
market following the increase of Ukrainian honey import quotas.
Both associations stress that current testing methods fail to detect
adulterated honey, making it impossible for honest European beekeepers
to compete.
They call for urgent EU action to protect market integrity, fair
competition, and consumers’ trust.
Letter is THERE.
Signed by:
Boštjan Noč (EBA) and EPBA Board Members — Mario Kalvet, Gianni
Alessandri, Yngve Kihlberg, Wolfgang Pointecker, and Toms Grudovskis.
