"This recommendation concerns the Agreement between the European Union and the Swiss Confederation on the protection of designations of origin and geographical indications for agricultural products and foodstuffs. Trade between EU Member States and Switzerland is very significant, with Switzerland being the European Union’s fourth largest trading partner, to which it exports agricultural produce to the value of EUR 6.3 billion each year. Several agreements have been concluded with the Swiss authorities regarding bilateral trade relations. The most recent, dated December 2008 (), aiming at the facilitation of agricultural trade, was amended in 2009 and the intention now is to include a new annex on protected geographical indications and designations of origin. This represents another step forward as regards the quality of the service provided to consumers in terms of their right to information, as well as a benefit for EU exporters of key agricultural products like meat or dairy, who will, from now on, enjoy greater protection of their designations of origin and geographical indications. I am not therefore simply voting for this recommendation; I also welcome this advance in EU-Switzerland bilateral trade relations."@en1
