Belgium is moving centre-stage during the second half of 2010 when it will preside over the European Council.  In the current economic climate and political situation, this represents both prestige and enormous responsibility for Prime Minister Yves Leterme and his government. 

This short brochure enclosed sets out the key EU food and drink industry priorities for the Belgian Presidency. These include:

1 High Level Group on the Competitiveness of the Agri-food Industry
2 European Commission Proposal on the Provision of Food Information to Consumers
3 R&D and Innovation
4 Nanotechnology
5 Environmental Sustainability

CIAA looks forward to working closely with the Belgian Presidency, contributing to its success and making progress in the areas that are key to Europe’s food and drink industry.
