CIBC elects new Board of Directors

At the end of last year, the International Butchers‘ Confederation (CIBC) held its Annual Assembly and elected its new Board of Directors. In these meetings, the European meat sector takes notice of the situation of butchery and delicatessen in Europe, and strategies for continuous improvement of the sector within the EU framework are worked on, to address the global challenges that affect the future of the collective.
In this edition the foundations of the future of the organization have been laid, a strategic decision to continue to look after the interests of meat specialists in Europe, taking into account their weight in the upcoming EU policies in the areas of sustainability, food hygiene, nutrition or animal welfare; and has also served as a framework for the appointment of the new Board of Directors.

Jaqueline Balzer assumes the presidency and replaces Jean-Marie Oswald (Luxembourg) after 12 years in the same position. Balzer expressed the intention to continue betting on tradition and food crafts within a sector that is constantly changing as a way to adapt to new consumption habits.

The new Board of Directors, which formally assumes its legislature for four years, has been constituted as follows:

Jacqueline Balzer (France). Chairwoman.
Anka Lorencz (Austria). Vice President
María Sánchez Ruiz (Spain). Vice President
Ad Bergwerff (Netherlands). Vice president.
Eckhart Neun (Germany). Vice President and Treasurer.

With a 60% female presence, the formation of the new Board demonstrates that the role of women in the butcher and charcuterie sector is increasingly relevant and it is possible to develop a professional career in the butchery sector.

The International Butchers‘ Confederation (CIBC) is a federation of national associations of small and medium-sized craft butcher and catering companies.

The IBC today represents 16 associations from the countries of the European Union and the EFTA with a total of more than 150,000 craft butcher and catering companies, which together employ nearly 1 million people. The total turnover of this sector amounts in excess of 60 billion euro per year.
