European Union - Food quality: legislation hended

Plans for an EU food quality policy, intended to add value to the economies of Europe's regions, are set out in a resolution drafted by Giancarlo SCOTTÀ (EFD, IT) and approved by Parliament as a whole on Thursday. This resolution responds to a Commission consultation paper on EU food quality policy and forms part of a wider debate in Parliament on the future aims of the Common Agricultural Policy.

The compulsory labelling of farm produce gives consumers valuable information about food quality and can boost farmers' competitiveness, said the European Parliament on Thursday. Protecting EU geographical indications and traditional specialities from counterfeiting also helps safeguard food quality, argue MEPs, who believe legislation is needed in this area.
