Simona Caselli and Jean Louis Moulon both re-elected President and Vice-president of AREFLH
On the 27th of March 2019, the annual meeting of AREFLH, the association of European fruit and vegetable regions and producers, was held in Bordeaux, at the headquarters of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region. This year's meeting, coinciding with the end of the mandate of the Regional Minister of the Emilia Romagna Region, which began in 2016, had the objective of renewing all mandates, from the Presidency to the Board of Directors, for a new three-year term.
On September 5, 2017 the AREFLH presented to the European Parliament the White Paper of the CMO for fruit and vegetables. This event was a success. It brought together more than 80 participants, including 12 MEPs, representatives of the European Commission, regional governments and professional organizations.
Based on the analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the sector, this document highlights the key role and the positive impact of the CMO since its creation in 1997, as an original and always innovative tool that places POs and AOPs in the center of the system.
In this guide, AREFLH brought light to a number of promotion and healthy food education actions implemented in its regions, emphasizing their richness and diversity. It takes stock of the consumption of fruit and vegetables in Europe and highlights the stakes of promotion, a crucial lever to boost it in the long run.
The guide also identifies a series of initiatives both at international and local level, with a focus on interprofessional programmes and actions carried out by producer organisations.
