European Parliament
Carlo Fidanza  (PPE ),
in writing.
(IT)
I voted in favour of the milk package because the measures brought in will have a positive influence on the dairy sector, which has been in crisis since 2009. The adoption of the regulation rewards Parliament’s long-standing efforts, particularly during the trialogue with the Commission and the Council. I am also very pleased about the positive repercussions that today’s vote could have for Italy and its top quality products. I am referring, for example, to the 37 Italian cheeses with protected designation of origin (PDO), which enjoy greater protection due to the introduction of production planning for dairy products covered by the PDO mark and by protected geographical indication (PGI).
