lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I am convinced that this legislation is an important step forward for designations of origin in Europe. We now have around 1 000 such designations in Europe and each year these account for sales of around EUR 15 billion, representing 4.5% of our food market in Europe. These products are constantly gaining in importance. These figures show just how important these designations of origin have become. The rapporteur, whom I would like to thank for her cooperation in recent months, has already indicated the benefits of the new regulation. We shall have less red tape, greater public protection for designations of origin and new designation options, such as the ‘mountain products’ designation the Commissioner has just mentioned. That is major progress. I very much regret that we have not succeeded in apportioning greater importance to the support consortia. There is no doubt that these products are perceived by consumers as brands. Anyone who claims that consumers do not recognise names like Pata Negra or Parmigiano Reggiano as brands is misunderstanding the situation. Support consortia lack a central element in market leadership, however. They are unable to decide on the amount of product to be put on offer. Unfortunately it has not been possible to reach agreement in this area with the Council, which is notable by its absence today. I hope that we will manage to find such agreement during the debate on agricultural reform. I also find it quite unhelpful that an amendment should now be tabled by the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, which we are to vote on tomorrow and which moves in this direction. My group agrees with the substance of this amendment and would vote in favour if this was the only issue. We know, however, that this would prevent the adoption of the regulation at first reading, which is why we shall have to vote against it. Thus, this is not particularly helpful and achieves no progress. I hope that the Greens will support us when we raise this subject as part of agricultural reforms."@en1
