EBCU is a non-political, non-religious organisation formed in 1990 to give voice to the beer consumer at the European level, both within and beyond the European Union (EU). Our members are different national beer organisations in European countries representing over 200 000 consumers. Having different minimum rates on duty of alcoholic beverages based on their product category is problematic.
