The new legal framework for EU Quality Products: opportunities and challenges for mountain and GI products
In the framework of the Horizon2020 MOVING project, AREPO and oriGIn EU organise a conference in collaboration with Euromontana gathering EU Institutions, Regional governments, Producers of mountain and GI products and EU stakeholders from the agri-food sector, to discuss the new legal framework for EU Quality Products.
The focus will be placed on the impact of the changes introduced by the new GI and quality terms regulation and the opportunities they open up. Above all this will be an occasion to discuss the place of EU geographical indications and quality products in the future CAP and the role they play in the sustainable development of our rural and remote areas. A session will be devoted to the implementation of the Optional Quality Term ‘Mountain Product’, the most recent among EU quality schemes. The aim is to discuss how to strengthen it to increase its added value for the ecological resilience, attractiveness and socio-economic development of mountain areas.
