Mediterranean product came from Mediterranean!. Having clementines cultured on Canada would be less probable.
All this news are linked directly, with the current farmers protests. Farmers that are being manipulated very obviously by political agents on parties that in turn are puppets supported (and probably directed) by "outer group" in a divide-and-conquer mode, with their own agendas to promote".
So French farmers were incited to destroy Spanish fruits, and then Spanish farmers where wipped up against Morocco farmers; and then angry Polish farmers started to destroy Ukrainian grain exports (a incredibly stupid move for Poland interests). All at the same time, veery curious.
Good if they solve part of the problems, but this path is a double-edged sword. We like it or not, we live in a globalized world. "Qatar announce that will not export diesel for Spanish tractors anymore", and the Morocco strawberries will became a "clean as snow" new superfood overnight. Trust me.
Each EU member is responsible for analyze the food that is imported crossing its borders, and they just report the results to destination. The destination of one of those consignments of contaminated strawberries from Morocco was the Netherlands; the destination was warned of the analysis, and what happened next, who knows.
What you are suggesting is to use coaction, blackmailing, to stop analyzing imports into the EU, or to hide the results, that cross the EU's southern borders.
You didn't understood anything it seems. I'm not suggesting, I'm telling you how this will end.
Don't you think that we are extremely tired of seeing French vandals --again-- assaulting and destroying Spanish fruit trucks while the gendarmerie just watch the cargo burn?. This people is attacking legal EU companies and the French police act as necessary accomplices that allow it. French government couldn't care less; they even do jokes on TV about it. Is the same stupid stunt since 70's, each time they need a scapegoat to divert the attention.
Do you think that this will increase the appetite of Spaniards for French products in the near future?. I seriously doubt it. Each action triggers a reaction
Second. Quality controls on EU is not a new thing. A lot of people works detecting and stopping dangerous products since decades. Thousands of this products are silently stopped and removed each year so, why do you think that this is suddenly breaking news? Have you heard about the recent scandal of Spanish strawberry farmers stealing water and sucking dry the Doñana National park?
