"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, it is very evident that consumers are increasingly interested in purchasing products that are designated as ‘locally produced’, ‘produced nearby’, ‘zero-mile’ or described in a similar way. It is worth drawing attention to the need to develop explanations and a proper interpretation of the meaning of the frequently used term ‘locally produced’. This is because we must ensure transparency in this area and avoid deceiving consumers. We should devise definitions and criteria for the designation of locally produced food that would be a way of ensuring that consumers will always be in a position to make free and informed choices, based on clear and correct information.
Nevertheless, it is important to ensure that following the introduction of such measures the concept of ‘locally produced’ goods does not incite food nationalism or contravene the spirit of the internal market. Thank you."@en1
