In 1995, the European calcium carbonate and dolomite producers established their representation at the EU level through CCA-Europe, a founding member of the Industrial Minerals Association Europe (IMA-Europe).

CCA-Europe is a non-profit association whose members cooperate on scientific and legislative issues of common interest related to calcium carbonate and dolomite. Key aspects are those related to the environment, economic and social conditions, notably concerning health and safety, the improvement and standardisation of labour and occupational health conditions. As a member of IMA-Europe, the members benefit from a broad representation and a strong voice at the EU level and synergy of issues common to the industrial minerals sector.
