EUROMALT is the trade association of the malting industry in Europe, representing and promoting the interests of the European malting industry at EU and international levels. The European malting industry accounts for approximately 1/3 of the total worlds capacity in malt production (up to 11 million tonnes of malt, produced each year and used for brewing, distilling, and food and feed production worldwide). As such, EU exports account for more than 60% of the world trade in malt. The EU malting sector employs more the 28000 people in Europe, and Great Britain. EUROMALT welcomes a review of the EU ETS for maritime, aviation and stationary installations, and of the Market Stability Reserve and thanks the European Commission for being able to provide input to this consultation. EUROMALT has no evidence to provide at this stage but looks forward to being consulted when a review of the Carbon leakage List will be initiated by the European Commission. The EU malting sector is considered as risk of Carbon Leakage (NACE code 11.06) until 2030 and, in order to preserve the competitiveness of the EU malting sector in comparison to other third countries producer (where the cost of energy is much lower than in the EU), EUROMALT members wish that some support will be considered also during the ETS2, due to the uniqueness and importance of the malting sector in the EU.

EUROMALT welcomes the EUs draft technical rules on the verification process under the Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming Certification (CRCF) Regulation, and also looks forward for clear and harmonized rules for Certification bodies, officially recognized and regularly scrutinized by the European Commission, that will verify carbon removals and soil emission reductions. EUROMALT has no comments to the content of the proposal and the annex, but only a clarification is sought on the draft Commission Implementing Regulation: Under Page 11, chapter 4, paragraph c) (1) it is stated: a minimum of 2 years experience in fuel life-cycle assessment should this be read full instead of fuel?
