Suggested Response - Q3
**Briefly describe what approved barley varieties lists are. Why is it necessary for each country to have them?
Response:
Approved barley variety lists detail all varieties that are approved for use within a specific country. All varieties on the lists have undergone years of testing; the lists thus guarantee the genetic stability of each variety. They also show that the varieties have the required agronomic, malting and brewing properties. Varieties not on the list are rejected by malt producers and brewers.
