Goals / Remit
Our purpose is to equip Europe’s brewers with the tools to freely, cost-effectively and responsibly brew and market beer.
In this context, The Brewers of Europe aims at raising awareness on issues where brewers’ interests are at stake and to communicate to EU policymakers, media and stakeholders alike the critical and positive role played by beer and breweries in today’s society, culture and economy.
The Brewers of Europe produces, supports and promotes studies, research and initiatives on issues pertaining to the brewing industry, in a variety of areas including economic impact, social responsibility, environmental sustainability, health, food safety, trade, as well as road safety. Other activities include events, congresses, symposia and meetings involving the many stakeholders in the beer value chain and beyond.Main EU files targeted

Meetings
Meetings
15 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
