Protect “the common names” of food products from the abuse of geographical indications made by the European Union. This is the request that the US Consortium for Common Food Names (CCFN) has made to the US government “to preserve the rights of users of common names of foods and beverages” from the EU monopoly. For Filiera Italia, the association that brings together the Italian world of agriculture and its agri-food industry, it is above all “a reaction to the extraordinary success of Made in Italy”, which last year registered record exports to the USA “with 5.5 billion Euro of agri-food business and a constant growth of 14%”, explains managing director Luigi Scordamaglia in an interview with Eunews.

“If we manage to contain the Omicron wave by February, at the end of this year we will be able to recover all 2020 losses and reach 70 billion euros of export earning, without losing jobs”. This is the expectation of Carlo Capasa, president of the Camera nazionale della moda italiana (the association which disciplines, co-ordinates and promotes the development of this crucial industrial sector for the country), in a long interview with Eunews.

Italian friends, stop promoting your salamis and parmesan! French colleagues, take no pride in being the country with 365 different cheeses! Austrian pals, hide your schnitzel! Spanish fellows, put away those dry-cured hams that made your reputation! This was my first reaction reading the new Greenpeace self-proclaimed ‘study’ on the promotion of European agricultural products by the European Union. In essence, this document of 25 pages (pictures included) aims to demonstrate that “The European Union, despite its political ambitions with the Green Deal or the Farm to Fork Strategy, spent from 2016-2020 more than 250 million euros on the exclusive promotion of meat and dairy products, which would represent 32% of the global budget allocated to the promotion of agricultural products going to industrial farming”.

International politics saw a surge in new words and a return of old expressions. Going through some of them gives us a flavor of the year of 2020, which few of us will look back to with nostalgia. By Rosa Balfour
