Sp. Libanos: We will protect Feta, the flagship of the Greek PDO!

Feta is the flagship of the Greek PDO and we will not allow it to be hit by anyone, stressed the Ministry of Regional Development Spilios Libanos in his deuterology (via electronic system) in Parliament, on the bill for livestock facilities.

Answering the SYRIZA MP Mr. Vangelis Apostolou, Mr. Libanos stressed that for the government the protection of feta, as well as all other emblematic products is an absolute priority. And this, as he stressed, has been demonstrated in practice “with the sweeping controls that are carried out in the market and our effort to comply with the rules of the PDO and to ensure the real producers.” and reminded that “never, neither in the time of Mr. Apostolos, nor of course in the four and a half years of SYRIZA, fines amounting to 260,000 euros, nor much less than that, had been imposed. The PDO has never been removed as it was this year, there has never been such a coordinated effort that has results.

I would expect – I honestly say – the support of Mr. Apostolos in this issue and the support of SYRIZA in this struggle “, Mr. Libanos pointed out.

Regarding the issue of South Africa raised by Mr. Apostolou, Mr. Libanos first reminded that “SYRIZA made this agreement in 2016 – as the former minister told us – and then voted in favor of ratifying this agreement this year when it came This is the reality, and secondly – because he is right in what he says, in his concern. I have also read his articles. We have already started this process, we have raised the issue, specifically on April 20, 2021, through our competent bodies in the Permanent Greek Representation, we raised the issue of extending the protection of feta and in particular we argued that this is very important. In cooperation with Mr. Varvitsiotis, who is handling it at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we are putting it in higher fora, so that exactly the logic agreed by the government Mr. Apostolos, to move forward to protect our product with South Africa.

Therefore, Mr. Apostolou, gentlemen of SYRIZA, be sure that in the issue of controls, but also in the issue of the management of the agreements, which we as a continuation of the Greek government support, we will not leave the Greek PDOs and of course, we will not we will let the flagship, the feta be hit by anyone.

Commenting on what Mera25 MP Kleonas Grigoriadis said, he called it a delusion and called on him to be more restrained in Parliament and to respect the elected prime minister. He described the expressions he used as unfamiliar as they do not fit into parliamentary democracy.

The Ministry of the Interior accepted the amendments for the land workers and the state aid, while the third one for the professional rights was withdrawn for legal and technical reasons, after consultation with the Secretariat of the Government.
