Hops: common organisation of the market CMO (amend. Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71)

By adopting the report by Xaver MAYER (EPP, D), the European Parliament approved the amended proposal on the common organisation of the market in the hops sector. The Parliament calls on the Commission to ensure that all the available data required for assessing the situation on the hops market is recorded, evaluated and made available annually to market operators. Such data shall in particular relate to trends in the area under hops, demand, the distribution of different varieties, prices and developments in hop-growing in individual Member States.�
