"European farmers produce a range of high-quality food that is sustainably produced as regards the environment and the rural community.
It is thanks to regional diversity, traditional methods of production, an emphasis on safety, and superior environmental conditions that the high quality of European food is recognised and respected. Producers have little familiarity with existing quality schemes – such as the protected designation of origin scheme, for products from certain areas produced by local methods; the protected geographical indication scheme, for articles with strong links to a particular district; and the traditional speciality guaranteed scheme, which emphasises the traditional character of the foodstuff – and each one is a complex and lengthy process.
I agree with the rapporteur with regard to giving priority in the quality package to simplifying and promoting the quality schemes. Ireland has a small number of products recognised under these schemes, such as Connemara Hill Lamb, Timoleague Brown Pudding and Clare Island Salmon, but, in order to develop the foodstuffs sector, producers must be put in the picture and encouraged to take advantage of all the opportunities for high-quality Irish products."@en1
