Technical and Reception Control Committee

Chair: Jean-Pierre DUBRAY (FR)

Vice-Chairs: Paola PEDRONI (IT) Stanisław BARNAŚ (PL)

Secretaries: Wilhelm HAUCK (AT) and Klaus ZIEGLER (DE)

At its General Assembly in 2010 CIBE decided to merge its Technical and Reception Control Committees. The new committee's remit will include issues related to the relationship between growers and processors and the study of all the technical aspects of beet reception: equipment, methods and conditions.

It provides a platform for growers from different countries from within and outside of the EU to exchange information and have a dialogue on the sustainable development of sugar beet growing. In particular, it examines all the agronomical and technical problems concerned with beet growing, including environmental issues, which have become increasingly important, and the uses of beet in the production of green energy (biomass and biofuels).

It meets once a year (except during Congress years).
