This afternoon Bruscino Angelo, the president of the young entrepreneurs of Confapi, spoke at the forum of Expo "The Role of Europe in the protection of agricultural heritage", which was held in the hall Workshop Farm Triulza and attended by the mayor of Milan Giuliano Pisapia and the president of the Lombardy Region, Roberto Maroni.
"Italy must fight for the protection of our agricultural heritage in Europe," began Bruscino. "We are one of the few countries in the world that expresses an ecosystem of excellence ranging from crafts, industry, from cultural heritage to those landscapes, from manufacturing, design. The production of goods and food products are every year for our country between import and export about 250 billion euro, or 15% of our GDP, employing about 1.6 million farms and 7.3 million employees " .
The data are clear: Italy has 272 products with a designation of origin (PDO / PGI), over 20,000 farms, the smallest number of food products with chemical residues and irregular production rules more stringent in the characteristics of food products (from ban produce pasta with wheat that use milk powder in cheese until banning the addition of sugar in the wine). The boot, for this address regulatory, became so leading European Bio, as well as in the production of value added.
"Despite this undeniable success also celebrated at Expo 2015 - continued Bruscino - we never managed to impose on us in Europe as holders of an ancient culture, even still today suffer the dictatorship of other countries, our competitors and misunderstanding of the nature of their territories, for the will of explicit or hidden fight on a market in which we are world leaders trying to win unfairly. "
The solution is to point your feet at Brussels, ring on which decides the future of European agriculture. But to give precedence to the Italian line is necessary to close ranks, to all levels need the ability to lobby (or team, if you prefer) and, above all, the determination of politicians, called for once not to divide to increase your visibility and votes in domestic politics but to defend the interests of Italians.
