European Union negotiators appear to be holding firm on their insistence for having geographical indicators imposed in the Trans Atlantic Trade And Investment Partnership agreement. G-I’s are common food names such as feta, parmesan or munster that the E.U. wants to have exclusive control of. National Milk Producer Federation’s Chris Galen says if those stay in TTIP that will create problems.
Galen says E.U. negotiators need to bring a better case if they want the U.S. to agree to such a system.
European farmers believe G-Is could be one of the major sticking points surrounding the TTIP talks.
