New Mandatory Labelling For Fruits And Vegetables to the EU

From 1st of January 2008, the country of origin must be stated for all kinds of fruit and vegetables in the EU.
A change in European law (Article 2, paragraph 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1182/2007) means that all types of fruit and vegetables now have to be labelled with their country of origin.
This mandatory labelling previously applied only to fruit and vegetables subject to EC marketing standards.
