The European Bioeconomy Alliance (EUBA), an alliance representing twelve organisations in various sectors active in the bioeconomy, of which Starch Europe is a founding member, welcomed the comprehensive policy tool that is the EU Green Deal, and expressed the desire for it to ensure alignment and coherence between the different initiatives that are part of the Deal.
Starch Europe supports the position of the EUBA.

In late 2023, the European Commission is due to publish its proposal for a legislative framework on sustainable food systems (FSFS). This proposal, once adopted, will likely provide the framework for a multitude of specific actions to help promote a sustainable food system going forward for years to come. It is of paramount importance to get that right.
This paper aims to demonstrate the substantial contribution so far of the EU starch industry to a sustainable food system, as well as what core needs our sector has for that contribution to continue, and even increase.
