Coldiretti Lamezia event against unfair imports and support for national activities

Lamezia Terme – In April, operations to control and combat food fraud coordinated by Coldiretti and supported by the relevant bodies as well as the police took place at the Brenner pass. “From ham legs headed to Emilia Romagna – they inform from Coldiretti – to South African avocados destined for Sicily, not after adding Moldova as a further stop on a very long journey. But there is also Indian table grapes that reach the Novara area or Puglia or oranges and potatoes which, coming from Valencia, prefer to go the long way round, with a panoramic stop in the Alps, and enter Italy from Brenner – towards Emilia Romagna and Calabria. Coldiretti calls for nofakeinitaly from the Italian-Austrian border , a slogan that he also launched in a social campaign”.

“The participation of Lametini farmers in the event was strong thanks to the coordination operations carried out by the Directors and Secretary of the local branch! This experience has allowed us to experience first-hand a sad reality which, although largely permitted by European regulations, needs to be clear to enable and know how to qualitatively choose the product made with raw materials with protected EU – NON-EU origin of our Made in Italy. In this regard, the great mobilization of Coldiretti for a popular initiative European law proposal on the transparency of what we bring to the table starts from the Brenner Pass. At our headquarters located in Via Turati 15 it is possible to contribute to memberships. Given the importance of the proposed law, we will have and communicate more points in the area useful for broadening everyone’s consensus towards the protection of our products”, highlights Michelangelo Notarianni, zonal president of Coldiretti Lamezia Terme.
