A unified regulation on PDO and PGI abbreviations is essential to ensure consistent protection across all markets. Without shared rules, producers would face unfair competition from imitations, while consumers would lack certainty regarding the origin and quality of food products. This regulatory framework transforms local excellence into global economic assets, facilitating international trade and protecting the cultural and gastronomic identity of different regions.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
