(ANSA) - ROME, 02 DEC - "The attacks on our traditional productions, from Prosecco to balsamic vinegar to honey and so on, must be framed in a path to protect the DOP which, in the words of the EU, continues to want to promote and do on the other hand, in the facts he questions some attitudes that are objectively incomprehensible ".
This was stated by the Minister of Agricultural Policies, Stefano Patanelli, at a hearing in the Joint Agriculture Committees of the Senate and the Chamber on the path of implementation of the PNRRE to the definition of the National Strategic Plan in the context of the new CAP. "I believe that the reform of geographical indications must also be evaluated with great attention - said Pautuanelli - because we would like more and more tools to protect and not less and less. Nobody can worry about a production like Prosec which is very limited and will never affect the enormous value of Prosecco. , but it is in fact a key to the institutionalization of Italina sounding and this objectively is not acceptable ".
According to the minister, "this whole issue lies in a broader plan for the homologation of food production and for the identification of a unique diet on a global level, a path that worries me a lot".
As for the battle against the Nutriscore, Patuanelli specified that "when I arrived at Mipaaf I considered it lost, it seemed clear to me that the agreement between France and Germany with the support of Spain could be intangible; to date, however, Spain has radically changed its position and France is having strong internal problems with its producers who have realized how much an accident it can be to put a color on food, an illogical path of market conditioning and certainly not of information ".
