The Austrian government has agreed on the introduction of mandatory origin labelling for milk, meat and eggs in processed products and in public catering. The aim is for this regulation to come into force next year, according to Chancellor Karl Nehammer and now former Minister of Agriculture Elisabeth K?stinger. "The quality of the products from our domestic agriculture is known and in demand not only in Austria, but also far beyond. In the interests of transparency, we are now implementing the mandatory labeling of origin in Austria, because consumers have a right to know what's on comes to their plate. It's not just the farmers who benefit from this, but also the end consumers," Nehammer states.
