WRITTEN QUESTION P-3543/00

by Albert Maat (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(9 November 2000)

Subject: Labelling of beef tending to disrupt the market

In the recent discussion on the compulsory labelling of beef the Commission has said that the new
directive in this field must not result in disruption of the market.

Is the Commission aware that German buying associations have largely stopped buying meat not

1.
emanating from Germany?

Does the Commission intend to tackle this unacceptable protectionism and obstacle to intra-

2.
Community trade?

3.

Is the Commission prepared to subject the compulsory labelling to a critical review?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(11 December 2000)

The Commission is aware that the indication of origin on beef labels can and will have an effect on
commercial decisions. These decisions,
traders, cannot be considered as illegal
taken by individual
measures of protectionism.

Already in the past, the Commission noticed a certain (cid:145)national reflex(cid:146) in some Member States where beef
is labelled with full origin. This is the main reason why, in its proposal for a Council regulation providing
for the general rules for a compulsory beef labelling system (1), the Commission had included also the
possibility of (cid:145)EU origin(cid:146) labelling.

However the Council (unanimously) as well as the Parliament (by a very large majority) decided to limit
the origin indications on beef at the level of the name of the Member States concerned.

In conformity with its declaration made in Council on the adoption of Council Regulation (EC) No 2772/
1999 of 21 December 1999 providing for the general rules for a compulsory beef labelling system (2), the
Commission will continue to follow closely the evolution of intra-Community trade in the beef sector.
