that IFU holds continues to be an important function of IFU and I thank those members who gave of their time and talents to attend these important meetings. In June 2011, Mr. Bruno Jud completed a three year term as IFU President. During his term Bruno was instrumental in leading several significant changes that have strengthened IFU among its members and within the international community and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Bruno for his contributions to IFU and I look forward to his continued participation as a member of the Executive Committee. The heart, soul and strength of IFU is our Secretary-General, Elisabetta Romeo-Vareille, who continues to not only handle the day to day affairs of the Federation, but is always available and willing to take on any additional tasks to benefit IFU and does so in an efficient, professional manner. Plans for the upcoming Vaccinium 2012 Symposium June 17 -21, 2012 and the IFU internal meetings to be held June 19 & 20 in Maastricht, Netherlands are pretty well completed and I look forward to seeing you there.

Annual Administrative Report 2011 By Mrs Elisabetta ROMEO-VAREILLE Secretary-General of the International Federation of Fruit Juice Producers The year 2011 was one of intense activity in the continuation of work on IFU major areas of focus such as following up regulations established by Codex Alimentarius and assisting its members on any scientific and technical issues that are important to the global juice industry. I. IFU internal issues 1) General Assembly of Delegates and Commissions meetings 14-15 June 2011 Bonita Springs, Florida (USA) The 63 rd annual meeting of the IFU was hosted by the Florida Citrus Processors Association (FCPA) 14-15 June 2011 at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa located in Bonita Springs, Florida (USA). This meeting was a great opportunity to create synergies with other industry representatives as the Technical Committee on Juice and Juice Products (TCJJP), Florida Citrus Processors Association (FCPA), Florida Citrus Mutual (FCM) and the Florida Department of Citrus were also meeting at the same venue. My sincere thanks go to Kristen GUNTER for her co-operation and assistance in the organisation of this IFU event. 2) IFU new office The issue of office move was discussed at multiples occasions because of the need of having more office space for IFU secretariat. During the last years, Secretary- General investigated the opportunity to find some office space to share with another international association. Several requisites made the task difficult. It was necessary not only to have the use of a convenient office room for the Secretary-General but also of a meeting room for holding meetings of IFU Commissions. The office should be situated in a convenient place, easily accessible from international airports and railway stations. And, last but not least, the global cost of the move shouldn’t be significantly higher than before. A convenient place at 14, rue de Turbigo (headquarter of the Confederation of the European Yeast Producers- COFALEC) was visited by IFU President and Treasurer on 6 th October 2011. This office is located in the very heart of Paris (1 st district). It is connected with the subway (line 4) directly to Gare de l’Est (Germany) and Gare du Nord (Belgium, Germany and United Kingdom) and by RER B (fast local train) to both Parisian airports (Orly and Roissy). Although the rental rate is substantially the same as the previous one, there is a net savings at the new location when the total package is considered. The Executive Committee unanimously agreed at its meeting on 19 th October 2011 in Parma on the office move, which took place on 15 th February 2012. All members were informed of the change. On the basis of article 3 of IFU by-laws, the decision taken by the Executive Committee of transferring the registered seat is subject to ratification by the General Assembly of Delegates.
