"I voted for the report on the future of food quality policy. Let us underline straight away a positive point in the text: the proposal to establish a European logo for organic food. This is both a clear demand by consumers and a requirement that must be respected in order to develop the internal market.
I come to the important question of geographical indications and traditional specialities. Essential for European agriculture because of the privileged links established over time between products and regions, geographical indications and traditional specialities are closely linked to tradition and to the history of taste. For this reason, we must protect them. Consequently, I am delighted that we are opposing the merging of the two concepts of PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) and PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) as proposed by the European Commission. It is true that simplifying the standards may, at first sight, seem desirable in terms of reducing the bureaucratic burden, but it must not result in a reduction of the standards that our European producers have courageously imposed on themselves. Finally, let us not forget the work we still have to carry out to increase the protection, at international level, of geographical indications (in particular, via the WTO)."@en1
