Farmers stage border checks for fake Made in Italy goods. Italian farmers association Coldiretti staged a big rally featuring thousands of its members at the Brenner Pass between Italy and Austria on Monday.

The aim is to defend citizens' health and farmers' incomes by extending the obligation to indicate the origin on the label to all food products on the market in the EU.    "We are re-launching our battle for the transparency of the origin of goods on labels, something which is a right of European citizens, from here," said Coldireti President Ettore Prandini.
