Europatat’s objectives are: to improve the commercial and international activities of the potato trade; to protect the professional interests and the commercial function on a European and International level; to represent the profession in and at all official and international organisations. As early as in 1956 Europatat established the first Rules and Usages for the Inter European Trade in Potatoes codifying professional usages and instituting a simple and effective procedure for valuation and arbitration, henceforth known under the name RUCIP. Since that time RUCIP has been used for nearly all European transactions. Europatat is located in Brussels and in its day-to-day work the association keeps regular contact with the services of the European Commission as well as the European Parliament.

    INF.13 Letter from Europatat

    INF.13 Letter from Europatat Contribution from Europatat M. Claudio Meza Economic Affairs Officer Trade Policy and Governmental Cooperation Branch Trade Development and Timber Division UNECE Palais des Nations CH - 1211 Geneva 10, Switzerland Brussels, 10 May 2006. Dear Sir, Concerns : meeting of the specialised section for standardisation of fruit and vegetables (ECE/UNO) on 16-17 May 2006 in Geneva. Europatat, the European Union of the potato trade, has discussed at a number of meetings and occasions the two proposals of modification of the ECE standards for early and ware potatoes, which have been introduced by France and Germany. These proposals have been foreseen on the agenda of the specialised section on standardisation of fresh fruit and vegetables, in the working party on agricultural quality standards of the committee for trade, industry and enterprise development scheduled for 16-17 May 2006 in Geneva, as has been the case in the meeting of March 2005 of this group. Once again we want to apologise for not having taken part at this meeting last year. Nevertheless Europatat had presented its position in a letter dated March 3, written to Mr. T. Heilandt. First of all Europatat confirms its previous position that the ECE standards remain a framework to facilitate the exchanges of potatoes within Europe. Practices in the different countries will result in possible specific standards related to the cooking usage in these countries or even regions. We distinguish at the moment big differences between the European countries, even within the 25 EU member states. On top of these basic standards producers, traders and retailers are able to work out specific standards within quality assurance schemes.

It submitted to the Working Party the amended texts on cherries, table grapes, ceps and apples for approval as revised/new UNECE standards. It also recommended that the Working Party adopt the revised texts on apricots, cucumbers and peaches and nectarines as recommendations for trial use until the end of 2008. The UNECE cooperation task force and the OECD exploratory task force met jointly during the meeting to advance work on concentrating activities in agricultural quality standards within UNECE. They established working groups to prepare documents on various transition-related issues for consideration by the Working Party at its November 2007 meeting.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2O18 202.660.0900 councilka.org 1875 K Street NW, Suite 400 [email protected] Washington, DC 20006 Dear Supporter, The Council of Korean Americans (CKA) is a national Korean American organization with nearly 250 community leaders, pioneers, and trailblazers. Our members, board of directors, and staff have worked tirelessly to advance the national voice, interest, and influence of the Korean American community. 2018 was a pivotal year for CKA. First, we embarked on a leadership change and an important transition to strengthen CKA’s management team. Dr. Abraham Kim was installed as the new executive director in December 2018 and has since launched an ambitious, multi-year plan for the organization to become the premier national voice for Korean Americans. Second, under the effective interim leadership of Jessica Lee, CKA expanded its active programming and outreach across the country throughout 2018. CKA gathered community leaders in Los Angeles and Washington, DC for two high-profile galas that drew over 1,000 people combined to celebrate the extraordinary contributions of the Korean American community. CKA also forged groundbreaking partnerships with African American and Jewish American communities to discuss race relations and the future of U.S.-North Korea engagement, ensuring that Korean American voices are heard on issues of national consequence. Third, we continued our critical investment in the next generation of Korean American leaders. 2018 marked the third year of the CKA-KALCA Public Service Internship Program, which funded and placed nearly 30 college students with summer internships in government offices and nonprofit organizations throughout Washington, DC and New York City.

    RUCIP 2017 Move of RUCIP European Committee Secretariat & New Rules and Practices of the Inter-European Trade in Potatoes

    Brussels, 14 December 2016 RUCIP 2017 Move of RUCIP European Committee secretariat & New rules and practices of the inter-European trade in potatoes On the 1st of January 2017 the RUCIP European Committee secretariat will be effectively transferred from Paris to Brussels. From the same date a new set of Rules and Practices of the Inter-European Trade in Potatoes (RUCIP) will also start to apply. The RUCIP European Committee, composed of the European associations Europatat (Potato Trade), EUPPA (Potato Processing) and Intercoop Europe (Cooperatives), has validated in November 2016 the new version, more commonly known as “RUCIP 2017”. For all disputes on contracts signed after the 1st of January only the RUCIP 2017 version will apply. The first European rules were established as early as 1956 through the efforts of the European Union for the Wholesale Trade in Potatoes, in defining professional practices and setting up a simple and efficient procedure for expert assessments and arbitrations. RUCIP has been amended several times since then, in 1972, 1986, 1993, 2000, and 2006. A profound revision was made and came into force on 1 March 2012. The modifications contained in the new RUCIP 2017 version focus strictly on the transfer of the European secretariat to Brussels and on the possibility to create European lists of Experts and Arbitrators for the countries that do not have a National RUCIP secretariat. Both the transfer of the secretariat and the new rules will become effective on 1 January 2017. The new RUCIP 2017 will be available for free in English, French and German on the newly created website of RUCIP (www.rucip.eu) as well as following the link to this website from the Europatat own site (www.europatat.eu).
