  1. Promotion of European agriculture, a new approachPanel discussion Priorities expressed by AREPO in the Green Paper consultation on the Promotion of Agricultural Products 29.11.2011 Warsaw, Poland

  2. Presentation of the AREPO • from 2004 • 31 members regions from 7 EU countries • More than 40 % of the EU GIs • 2 colleges : regions et producers • Présidency : Emilia-Romagna IT • Présidency of the professional college : Midi-Pyrénées FR • Technical committee : Andalousia SP • In Poland, Malopolska is member of our network 29.11.2011 Warsaw, Poland

  3. Need to support the promotion of quality schemes (For the record: PGI, PDO, TSG, Organic Farming, national systems, Integrated Production, Mountain) • The constraints of specifications and certification are additional costs for producers • But there are benefits to civil society: public goods (landscape, biodiversity, maintaining activities in rural areas, including in difficult areas such as mountains, dry Mediterranean areas ...) • And benefits for consumers: guarantees on production methods, origin of raw materials, certification 29.11.2011 Warsaw, Poland

  4. Recognize and develop the role of regions • Regions are responsible for rural development, economic development, land use planning • Regions conduct collective operations needed especially for smaller operators or sectors • Regions are involved in proximity to people and economic actors: support for local projects, able to meet the expectations of civil society for local products 29.11.2011 Warsaw, Poland

  5. What should be the target of the promotion of quality products • Consumers to improve knowledge on logos and what they mean • Young people to reach families and to build on the future • Chain of production and consumption to participate in the vertical organization: production - processing – distribution • Food service (HO-RE-CA) 29.11.2011 Warsaw, Poland

  6. The proposed solutions • Promote collective operations with the support of regions:collective marks, product and / or territories associations on internal and external markets • Really take into account the quality products in the CAP: • For Producers: Aid for certification, bonus in the decoupled direct payment, • For producer groups: aid for certification, feasibility studies, market research, development and innovation in products and distribution • For emerging projects: aid from the interim procedure (is to tell the stage of recognition by the Member States) 29.11.2011 Warsaw, Poland

  7. Implement a real institutional promotion at the European level • Promote the logos of quality schemes • Define values ​​to communicate : food safety, sustainability, diversity ("Taste of Europe" is a program but it can not be a single message) • Clarify the message about the farming origin : on agricultural products, on the main raw materials for processed products, from Member States or regions / or from outside the EU • Improve the international protection = open new external markets 29.11.2011 Warsaw, Poland
