"The objective of this directive is to assist agricultural producers in communicating the characteristics and farming attributes, as well as the origin of agricultural products and foodstuffs, to buyers and consumers. The European Union has a policy of quality food products based on a system of certifications and labelling, in particular, protected designations of origin, protected geographical indications, the organic farming system and traditional specialities guaranteed. This is indisputably a way of bringing added value to regional products and traditional, local processes of production. However, it is not – and cannot be – the panacea for competitive pressure resulting from the liberalisation and deregulation of agricultural markets, of a ‘market-oriented CAP’. This system will not count for much in a context in which the income and purchasing power of the general population are being drastically reduced, and people are impoverished by so-called austerity measures. Moreover, doubts persist as to the conditions of access to these systems for small-scale, family-based and peasant farming, whether for bureaucratic or financial reasons. The rapporteur herself refers to these problems. We are doubtful that adequate, effective solutions have been found to address these problems."@en1
