Italian farmers association
Coldiretti staged a big rally featuring thousands of its members
at the Brenner Pass between Italy and Austria on Monday and
staged checks with police on lorries to see if they were
transporting counterfeit Italian food products.
"The Brenner Pass is a symbol of the passage of the fake Made in
Italy products that invade our market and so we are re-launching
our battle for the transparency of the origin of goods on
labels, something which is a right of European citizens, from
here," said Coldiretti President Ettore Prandini said this
"The aim is to defend citizens' health and farmers' incomes by
extending the obligation to indicate the origin on the label to
all food products on the market in the EU".
