- Title
The Protection of Traditional Foods in the EU: Traditional Specialities Guaranteed.
- Authors
Tosato, Andrea
- Abstract
Since the dawn of the common market, the European Union has enacted abundant legislation regulating the employment of specific food names. This process has led to the introduction of a regulatory framework for wines and spirits, and four quality schemes for food products: protected denominations of origin ( PDO), protected geographical indications ( PGI), traditional specialities guaranteed ( TSG), and optional quality terms ( OQT). This paper focuses on the TSG. It will first determine the collocation of this quality scheme in the EU legal framework; second, it will conduct a legal exegesis of the norms regulating the TSG under the previous Regulation 509/06 and analyse the ways in which they have been interpreted and applied; third, it will suggest reasons for the limited success of this scheme in the past; and fourth, it will explore the recently enacted Regulation 1151/12, seeking to establish whether it addresses the pre-existing flaws that fettered the TSG.
