Visit of the Executive Director of the International Olive Council
On 7 April 2022, on a visit to the Technology Park of the Uruguayan Technology Laboratory, IOC Executive Director Abdellatif Ghedira was welcomed by its Director General Dr Jorge Silveira.
The IOC delegation was shown a video summarising the activities of this very modern complex before taking a guided tour of the research laboratories, some of which are dedicated to the olive sector.
The Executive Director was highly interested in the research being conducted at the centre. He asked technical questions and requested explanations on the objectives of some of the ongoing studies. One of the laboratories in the complex is specialised in the physico-chemical analysis of olive oil and has type B approval from the IOC.
