    Goals / Remit

    The purpose of FoodDrinkEurope is servicing the horizontal interests of the European food and drink manufacturing industry from the commercial, technical, economic, legal and scientific points of view, and in particular :
    a) the defence and promotion of the products of the food and drink industries, in full transparency and in complete independence vis-à-vis the members of the Association;
    b) the study of problems of concern in the scientific, technological, economic and legislative areas related to the European food and drink manufacturing industry, as well as the search for and carrying out of relevant solutions;
    c) the cooperation with any organisation established in the context of the European Union and with any other international organisation, as well as with the federations of food and drink industries in the Member States of the European Union and beyond.

    In order to fulfil its mission, FoodDrinkEurope participates pro-actively in the development of an environment where all European food and drink companies (whatever their size) can compete effectively for sustainable growth, while meeting consumers’ needs and playing their part in delivering the targets set by the Lisbon declaration of the European Council.

    FoodFrinkEurope contributes to the sustainable development of a legislative and economic framework addressing competitiveness, food quality and safety, consumer information and respect for the environment.
