"There are currently three quality labels for agricultural products in the European Union (protected geographical indications (PGI), protected designations of origin (PDO) and traditional specialities guaranteed (TSG)). The Commission wishes to reform this system in order to simplify or facilitate new entries, in particular. For the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance, it was important to take advantage of this overhaul to promote the introduction of a new ‘local agriculture and short supply chains’ label. We also called for the introduction of a ‘mountain’ label to highlight the considerable added value of products from these regions, where agriculture is often traditional and extensive. These two measures were passed during the vote in the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and we are pleased about that. However, during the negotiations in trialogue with the Council and the Commission, the Members representing Parliament sacrificed the ‘local agriculture and short supply chains’ label, which is nonetheless important for encouraging these kinds of agricultural practices. That is why I voted against this text, which was initially encouraging."@en1
