Joint letter – Restrictions on the labelling of plant-based food in the reform of the Common Agriculture Policy

10 February 2021

With other organisations, we urged the European Commission and Member States to reject Amendments 171 and 72 in the CMO trilogues. Amendment 171 imposed unjustified restrictions on plant-based dairy labelling, harming both consumers and producers, while Amendment 72 risked future legal uncertainty. These changes contradicted the EU’s sustainability goals and must be opposed.
