And my point is that this is not true; that they are both, and it's important. So I guess we are disagreeing after all :)
I think a non-region tied version of this would be great, but "anything goes" is probably worse than current state.
Of course any sensible discussion about the producer protection side has to look at duties and quotas too, which makes things more complicated.
- SiempreViernes 5y agoThere are protections that aren't tied to regions, called Traditional speciality guaranteed (https://ec.europa.eu/info/food-farming-fisheries/food-safety-and-quality/certification/quality-labels/quality-schemes-explained_en#tsg https://ec.europa.eu/info/food-farming-fisheries/food-safety...). The "problem" is that typically when there is a strong food brand, it also has a strong geographic association, and so TSG is available only for lesser brands.
