On Friday, February 7, Mr. Boštjan Noč, president of the EBA and Dr. Urška Ratajc had a meeting with the cabinet of the EU Commissioner for Agriculture and Food.
Mr. Boštjan Noč said:” We presented them with the problem of European beekeeping, especially regarding fake honey. We want to speed up the process of harmonizing analyses and establishing a reference laboratory, controlling honey already at the entry into Europe, and we asked them for the Commissioner to make a statement to the media that Europeans should choose the origin of Europe, they should choose local.
We were very specific, now we are waiting for the Commissioner’s response”.
