"(
Mr President, it is fortunate that we are holding a joint debate on Mr Graefe zu Baringdorf’s reports. In one of the reports, in point 5 of the justification, the text reads that ‘the aim of the proposals is to simplify the procedure and to provide an accurate definition of the remits of the different bodies during the examination process for the proposal’. This, along with other annotations, such as those under point 9, gives us hope that in the final Council regulations we will be able to avoid red tape and legal inconsistencies. This is particularly important with regard to the regulation on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs. We have to remember that geographical indications are part of the heritage of certain local communities and individual nations and that they are responsible for protecting them.
The protection of geographical indications and designations of origin of foodstuffs at a Community level should only fulfil a supporting function and prevent dishonest practices. However, ‘only national bodies shall have the authority’ to impose penalties at a national level, as stated in Article 11(3).
Regional products and foodstuffs have to support regional development and broaden the range of tourist attractions, including agro-tourism. No one wants a Union where everyone everywhere dresses the same, eats the same food and speaks in the same manner."@en1
