Given the importance of ensuring the protection and conservation of the diversity of high-quality traditional and regional foodstuffs, it is only fair to small farmers and producers of small quantities of primary products that Amendment No 3 of this report should be adopted. Accordingly, hygiene rules must not compromise ‘traditional production methods or raw materials, which can be proven on the basis of scientific findings, established practice or tradition, to form part of the manufacturing process and not to compromise the hygienic quality of foodstuffs’.
Member States must, therefore, in conjunction with the Commission, be allowed to adopt amendments to the provisions in Annexes II and III, to accommodate the needs of food businesses situated in regions that are subject to special constraints.
This is true of Portuguese cheeses, such as cheese from the Serra da Estrela, given that changes in production conditions may adversely affect the flavour and quality of the product.
Nor do we have any objections to the remaining amendments, which seek, as the rapporteur states, to clarify the structure of this legislative text."@en1
