"I fully support this agreement for free trade that guarantees European enterprises, in particular those operating in the agro-food sector, better access to the US market. Elimination of tariff barriers is important for the strengthening of economic relations between the EU and the United States, provided this does not have adverse effects on the remaining strategic sectors of the European economy. For the purposes of future negotiations, I would like to draw immediate attention to combating the so-called ‘Italian sounding’ phenomenon. In 2009, according to recent official estimates, for every eight Italian-inspired products sold in US supermarkets only one was actually produced in our country. I therefore call on the European Commission, in the context of a free trade agreement, to take steps to ensure better protection of European food products, and in particular Italian products because they are more affected by counterfeiting, as well as greater efforts by the US to combat this phenomenon."@en1
