The creativity, innovation and constant strive for improvement that characterises the European #brewing sector had made our continent a leading #beer-producing region. Currently, the brewing sector accounts for: 🍻 10 000 breweries 💶 €40 billion in government revenues 💼 over 2 million jobs The last few years have however been particularly challenging for the brewing sector, evidencing how intertwined beer is with European society and the economy. This also shows how strong support is crucial to ensure the industry can continue to be a leading contributor to European social, economic, and sustainable development. Therefore, ahead of the new EU political mandate, we urge policymakers to maintain Europe's leadership in #beer production by removing unnecessary bureaucratic burdens, cultivating a robust industrial policy that supports brewers in the twin transition. Decision makers should also broaden the dialogue on the future of EU agriculture to include the entire agri-food chain, thereby recognising beer and its raw ingredients as strategic products for a competitive and sustainable EU agricultural policy.
