"Despite the positive aspects of this report, such as defending the importance of local and regional markets and the promotion of products, it is still contradictory, because it supports and values the current agricultural production model – the same model that has laid waste to the agricultural sector in a number of countries, in particular to small-scale agriculture and family production, compromising their sovereignty and food security. The statement that the ‘success of European farmers will depend on their ability to increase their market share’ is a telling apology for the ‘productivist’, export-based models that sacrifice food quality, security and sovereignty for the ‘competitiveness’ of a few large farms. We do not agree that the indication of European origin should prevail as the main indication of product origin either in the internal market or in third countries. Indicating the national origin, as we now well know, is crucial in supporting, highlighting and promoting national production, shorter supply chains and the operation and value of local and regional markets. These are important (albeit insufficient) measures to help strike an agri-food balance in countries with the highest deficits, such as Portugal."@en1
