"I voted in favour of this report because I believe that it could be a positive way of increasing quality and making things easier for both small-scale producers and consumers. We currently have protected designations of origin (PDOs) and protected geographical indications (PGIs) that are used to protect and enhance the quality of regional products with specific characteristics. In Sweden and Scandinavia, we are not particularly good at using these designations in the way that they are used in southern Europe (for example, Parma ham, Parmesan, etc.). The new proposal is more comprehensive and aims to introduce more categories and labelling, for example, food from Arctic regions, mountain areas, etc. This may also result in us having more uniform labelling that can be used throughout Europe and that could help to increase Swedish food exports as set out in the concept of Sweden – the new culinary nation. Fewer labels, which consumers trust and recognise, will make it easier for them to make an informed choice. The proposal also aims to ease the administrative burden and reduce red tape, something of which I take a very positive view."@en1
