We have to be careful. We must not let the Europeans go too far in defining products that are given either the appellation d'origine contrôlée or protected geographical indication designation. If we are told that baloney or salami constitute a geographical indication, we will say that we do not agree. However, if it is a product that is tied to a region, such as des Grisons meat, etc., we can deal with that.
In our case, I do not think that this plays against us, providing that we define our products well. We could base ourselves on our experience in Japan to see how we could adapt to the European conditions. Up until now, everything that we have received from European buyers has been very good.
Indeed, you should know that, if you go to a market in the United Kingdom, you will find labels stating “Canadian Style Bacon” followed by “Product of Denmark”.
