Brussels, 22 December 2022 - Arbitrators have ruled in favour of the EU in the World Trade Organization (WTO) appeal regarding Colombia’s anti-dumping duties on frozen fries originating from Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. The final and binding award confirms that these anti-dumping duties breach WTO rules and improperly restrict access to the Colombian market. Read EUPPA's full press statement on this matter. 

Seventeen agri-food stakeholders - including EUPPA - have co-signed a joint open letter stressing the potential impact of the current proposal on Sustainable Use of Plant Protection Products Regulation (“SUR”) on the EU agricultural value chain, considering the current socio-economic situation in Europe.

The co-signing organisations call on the EU institutions to take into consideration the following points:

• Need for a comprehensive impact assessment
• Adequate targets that are based on science and feasible for producers
• Need to provide alternatives before withdrawing chemical solutions
• Proper definition and reconsideration of the ban on the use of any PPPs in sensitive areas
• Reduce the potential burden for farmers to comply with the SUR provisions to the minimum

EUPPA members are committed to reduce their environmental impact significantly by 2030. How? By advancing the sustainability of raw material, production processes and the final potato products. EUPPA members want to work hand-in-hand with with partners at each of the potato value chain to meet the targets of the European Green Deal and ensure the future of our planet.
