Infoclip: Geographical indications for wine and agricultural products

From cheeses to wines, more than 3,400 traditional food products are protected by geographical indications in Europe. While these appellations are protected within the EU, that’s not the case everywhere. Parliament wants to continue to defend Europe’s specialties from counterfeiting and misuse outside the EU.

Protecting Europe’s delicious specialities

The Committee on International Trade (INTA) of the European Parliament has its final vote on the EU and China agreement to mutually protect over 200 products with geographical indications, in Brussels. These include Cava, Champagne, Feta, Irish whiskey, Münchener Bier, Ouzo, Polska Wódka, Porto, Prosciutto di Parma and Queso Manchego. The Parliament consent is required for the agreement to enter into force. Statement by Iuliu WINKLER (EPP, RO), rapporteur and illustrative shots of Roquefort cheese, Grand Padano cheese, Parma ham and beer.

In Germany, a family farm produces about 1700 organic eggs per day.
