Bologna, April 28 - The names, images and colors that recall Italy but pasta wheat, cheeses made from milk powder or sweetened wine banned in our country, and that 'the one with the productive rules more' stringent throughout the European Union . And 'what denounces the Coldiretti Dossier who worked on the' task force 'of the NAS Carabinieri abroad to see what is sold as' Italian', thanks to a Europol project presented today in Bologna. Italy in time - according to Coldiretti - has adopted rules to protect the quality 'of national agricultural and food products that do not apply in other EU countries, however, where you try to take advantage of the positive image conquered by the Made in Italy with' deception. 'The European Union, rather than' defend distinctiveness' territorial, pushing a leveling down of standards under the pressure of multinational corporations, to give space to those countries that can not rely on a real farming and focus on tricks, gimmicks and artifices of industrial transformation in order to be on the market of food- denounces the president of Coldiretti Roberto Moncalvo - unfair competition that harms Italians farmers and consumers who are on the imitation products on the market that do not have some of the same characteristics of the original '. In Italy - Coldiretti - applies the historical 'purity law', the number 480 of July 4 of 1967, as amended, imposing the obligation to produce pasta exclusively from durum wheat, defending from the risk of finding that burns in the pot as often it happens abroad. But the European Union allows northern European countries to increase wine alcohol content through sugaring and that ''s always been prohibited in the countries of the Mediterranean and in Italy, where Coldiretti has fought a battle to prevent the' cellar trick 'and definitely affirm the definition of wine as a product obtained entirely from grapes. The last historical battaglia- adds Coldiretti - Italy has caused the fight to defend the law 138 of 11 April 1974 prohibiting the use of powdered milk to produce cheese, yogurt and drinking milk dairies located the country against which the EU Commission had threatened in June of 2015 the start of the infringement procedure 'cause the Italian law to protect the quality' of the productions is a restriction on the 'free movement of goods', as the milk powder and concentrated milk products used all over Europe. A battle that and 'was won thanks to the mobilization of Coldiretti in Italy where he continues to take high quality' of dairy products, unlike other EU countries where they continue to produce and sell cheese without milk, maybe from ' hustling 'as Italians obtained from the dust. .
