Training and development is an important focus for the Association

• An exam run jointly with the IBD. Candidates from many countries
• Certificate in Malting Competence (CMC)
• On completing FiM and GCM, UK candidates are awarded CMC
• Diploma in Malting

be of interest internationally

and integrated experience

• Master Maltster
• Awarded to candidates who have passed the three papers of the Malting

Diploma, a written project, an integrated case study paper and an oral

• exam. The highest level qualification in malting management

The following are some of the key areas

• f focus in the last year
• We have started a detailed review of Association activities – to report in

2nd quarter 2017

• Food safety remains an important area of collaboration:
• We have collaborated in our sector food safety due diligence

exercise

• We have submitted data proactively on ergot alkaloids in barley to

assist development of an evidence base on which to establish future regulation. This is an area of focus for EFSA in 2017.

• We have lobbied to ensure the continued licensing for glyphosate,

key to the supply of quality malting barley for our grain suppliers

• We have participated in the pilot project for egrain passport and have

submitted our feedback for the consultation across the supply chain

We have some significant challenges ahead with the impact of Brexit dominating the agenda

• Sustainability and the current CCA and ETS likely to change
• Continued push on legislative limits and the complexity of establishing
• ur own regulatory framework for food safety
• Support for the farming sector uncertain – we will work closely with our

colleagues in the grain supply chain to ensure a continued supply of high quality malting barley

• We will continue to support the funding application to establish an

International Barley Hub at JHI

• We will continue to support the quality standards in our supply chain,

from Red Tractor/SQC though TASCC and last but not least UK Assured Malt

Our Secretariat has changed in the past year with some new faces

Jennie Richards continues to administer training and examinations. Tracy Lawton has been with us for just over a year Sue Capewell continues to support the association. Julian South joined the association in May, taking over from Colin West as Executive Director
