The first reactions have arrived after the conference on honey market integrity held in the European Parliament (THERE). The first reaction was sent by the European Federation of Honey Packers and Distributors (FEEDM), which sent a letter to the host of the conference, MEP Elena Yoncheva.
Dear Ms Yoncheva
Following the conference _EU Honey Market Integrity: Trade Importance and Fraud Risks_ on 22 April 2026 in Brussels,
we would like to share with you the attached letter on behalf of F.E.E.D.M., the European Honey Association.
Our intention is to support the common goal of combating food fraud while ensuring that public debate and regulatory developments are grounded in sound scientific, analytical, and legal principles.
We believe that an open and fact‑based exchange among all relevant actors is essential to achieving this.
We would welcome the opportunity to discuss the proposed next steps outlined in the letter and are available for a meeting at any time.
Kind Regards
Jeanette Gonnermann
General Secretary
