    Buy Australian made food to support Australian farmers and local jobs.

      Would it not be better if 300+million people buy Australian products rather than 25 million people?
      Plus, you want people in Australia to buy only Australian stuff and at the same time you want to export to other countries and want them to buy Australian products, too rather than their own products?
      Plus Australian made food does NOT mean you support Australian farmers or truly local jobs - many farms are owned by Chinese corporation who often also bring their own workers - all the money then goes to China! How does that benefit Australia?

    • onetwothreefour on 15/08/2019 - 12:25

      Any bargains?

  • [Deactivated] on 15/08/2019 - 07:35

    If you can't pronounce or understand what the product is don't buy it.

    I think if i buy "Scottish Farmed Salmon" I know what i'm buying. Similar with the Spanish and Italian fare.

    Since I have never purchased a "Κρητικό Παξιμάδι" and have no idea what it is my current course of action will continue.

    (ingredient list on the back for allergies though, just to be safe)

    • HighAndDry on 15/08/2019 - 11:40

      I think if i buy "Scottish Farmed Salmon" I know what i'm buying.

      I think that's the point. You'd be pretty annoyed if you found out later that the "Scottish Farmed Salmon" was really salmon, that was farmed, that is a similar species to that found in Scotland, but actually sourced from say, Vietnam, which is what's technically allowed to happen now.

        like coles baramundi thawed from Vietnam with all that Mekong freshness.

    At this point they don't "need" to be renamed as the AU gov't hasn't agreed to it. It's a claim by the EU.

    A lot of it will have no effect because Australian producers don't use those specific names.

    Those that might are
    Blue/white Stilton cheese
    Klobasa
    Edam & Gouda cheese
    The italian cheeses
    Prosciutto ham
    some of the oils
    Fetta cheese (which they've asked for but it isn't on the above list).

    They banned using the term "Port" a while back and I wouldn't have a clue what the new name is. Same with White Burgundy and some other wine types.

    It will be a task for the marketing departments to make the new names accepted in the market.

        No. It's a proposal by the EU negotiators. It may or may not happen in order for the FTA to be signed. We can refuse the proposal (but probably make other concessions) or accept a modified proposal.

        • [Deactivated] on 15/08/2019 - 11:47

          Can you name a FTA with the EU where these demands were relaxed?

          Also, "90 Φέτα (transcription into Latin alphabet: Feta ) Cheese Greece"

  • PVA on 15/08/2019 - 08:41

    What’s scotch Beef?

    I thought scotch fillet here in Aus is just a cut of beef, not some regional style of meat.

    • brad1-8tsi on 15/08/2019 - 11:42

      It's rib eye fillet

  • HighAndDry on 15/08/2019 - 09:39

    I will defy EU requests and call them what I like.

    I don't think the EU cares much what we call it, so long as they're not called the 'protected geographic indications' by producers and sellers. Plus, even if I might still use the short-hand common names to call stuff, I don't mind that I'll know what specific products are without having to check the "Made in" label.

    If you make whisky, call it that. Scotch comes from Scotland. Japan and Taiwan have both made great whiskies and I don't avoid them just because they're not called scotch.

    • lunchbox99 on 15/08/2019 - 09:59

      This. It’s not about what consumers call it, it’s about branding and marketing used by sellers.

  • GG57 on 15/08/2019 - 10:28

    I can't see any problem.
    All of Europe, and other countries that have FTAs with the EU, would have the same agreement / conditions.

    This creates an enormous risk for our Българско розово масл industry. The government must be very careful that this does not pick at the very fabric of our economy and society at large.

    • lunchbox99 on 15/08/2019 - 11:01

      Bulgarian rose oil?

      Unless it’s made in Bulgaria I can see how that is potentially misleading.

      • HighAndDry on 15/08/2019 - 11:43

        Yeah - and that basically applies to most if not all things on that list. E.g., it doesn't restrict who can call their cheese "Camembert", only "Camembert de Normandie Cheese". Which is Camembert from Normandy, and the rules just require that it comes from Normandy amongst other things.

        • [Deactivated] on 15/08/2019 - 11:52

          The Scotch Beef and Scotch Lamb are interesting ones, as Scotch fillet is a standard and common cut. Maybe it will be called deboned ribeye. :)

          • HighAndDry on 15/08/2019 - 11:54

            @[Deactivated]: I think in those two cases, capitalisation is going to be a key element "scotch fillet" being the cut, and "Scotch beef" being beef from Scotland.

            It's just unfortunate the two do overlap, but otherwise not too different to Kobe beef being from Kobe.

            Edit: I don't think anyone will have to rename "scotch fillet" or the cut itself, if that's the worry.

            Edit2: "deboned ribeye" lol.

  • GG57 on 15/08/2019 - 11:42

    What is not mentioned are any items that the EU will need to comply with.

    Umm,…there must be something….Oh yeah, Manuka honey.

  • wannagrababargain on 15/08/2019 - 12:33

    It's almost impossible to buy real Parmigiano Reggiano anyway…and they can keep their stinky Feta, I propose we call the local stuff Australian Fetta.

  • Stewardo on 15/08/2019 - 12:37

    It seems fair enough to me, if someone in China or USA was passing of products as Australian that weren’t. We would be complaining about that.

    Same with drug cheats, when a different country has one we complain loudly, but when we have one, all the dodgy excuses come out.

    167-172 might not apply come Halloween

  • Cluster on 15/08/2019 - 12:40

    Here is a much easier to read list complete with extra information:

    https://dfat.gov.au/trade/agreements/negotiations/aeufta/pub…

    Most of these won't effect us at all. How many producers here make "Polish Vodka"? Others like "Feta" can be maneuvered around by calling it "Australian Feta" and changing the recipe a bit. This is what the Danish do: https://www.cheese.com/danish-feta/

    It also gives us a good opportunity to build our own brands and market them on an international market.

      I don't think it works like that.
      The link you've posted states:

      any misuse, imitation or evocation, even if the true origin of the product is indicated

      As far as I'm aware, the EU guidelines won't let you state 'Australian FETA'.

      I think the EU is being very unreasonable, or perhaps they've realised that the Australian product is just as good as the original.

      Feta

      After a long legal battle with Denmark, which produced a cheese under the same name using chemically blanched cow's milk, the term "feta" became a protected designation of origin (PDO) in October 2002—which limits "feta" within the European Union to mean brined cheese made exclusively of sheep's or sheep's and goat's milk in the following regions of Greece: Peloponnese, Central Greece, Epirus, Thessaly, Macedonia, Thrace, and the islands of Lesvos and Cephalonia.

      The European Commission gave other nations five years to find a new name for their feta cheese or stop production.[1] Because of the decision by the European Union, Danish dairy company Arla Foods changed the name of its white cheese products to Apetina, which is also the name of an Arla food brand established in 1991.

      So no Australian Feta for you.
