On Thursday 25th of September, the EFFA General Assembly 2024 took place in Copenhagen, hosted by our Danish member, the Danish Flavour Organisation (DFO). A big thank you to Jan Grøndal and Ole Vangsted Ellefsen for their warm hospitality. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with our Danish members and learn more about DFO’s activities.
Thank you to all members for attending and for your valuable contributions to this year's achievements. EFFA has successfully navigated complex regulatory challenges through strong cooperation with national associations and external stakeholders. The social media campaign, "What is the taste that brings you to your happy place?" https://lnkd.in/ddWq96gu was a big success.
And with this new European Parliament and Commission, EFFA has strengthened its Public Affairs pillar, and it ‘is prepared to stay actively engaged in future developments that will impact our industry.
The General Assembly was also a moment to express our gratitude to key individuals who have shaped the history of the association and participated in their last EFFA Board and GA. Merci Jean Mane, merci Nadine Babarit, we will miss you both! 💐
A big thank you to Eric Angelini for taking on the role of SNIAA representative at the EFFA Board and to Jan Bechtel for stepping up as EFFA Treasurer.
As every year, it was very insightful to receive the global updates from Sven Ballschmiede and to learn about IOFI activities, danke Sven!
Last but not least, a huge thank you to the EFFA President, Karel Stoschek and EFFA Secretariat for making all this possible.
