"European agriculture delivers food of great variety, with production methods that are respectful of the environment and of rural communities. The regional diversity of food, the traditional methods of production, and the emphasis on safety and good environmental conditions lead to the fact that the quality of European food is among the highest in the world. We must also demand this from third-country products entering the EU. Farmers and consumers alike need to be made aware of these special characteristics of their home-grown food. This quality-oriented approach could help reward the best-quality products on the domestic, as well as international markets. These labels and quality schemes provide recognition for the high-value characteristics of the products and also for the regional specificities of the products. The current quality schemes are: Protected designation of origin (PDO), Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), Traditional Specialty Guaranteed (TSG), Organic Farming and Outermost Regions, all with their respective logos. They bring greater added value for farmers and consumers. I therefore welcome the rapporteur’s initiative, which urges the Commission to make these schemes easier to understand and to extend them to ‘products of island farming’."@en1
