Olive Council decision-makers meeting this week in Madrid

The future of the International Olive Council is among key topics to be discussed at the annual session of its decision-making organ, the Council of Members, in Madrid this week. Representatives of the IOC’s 18 members countries are attending the session and for the first time are joined by a representative of the United States – believed to be a Madrid-based employee of the U.S. Department of Agriculture – attending as an observer.
