Production, protection and promotion of high quality food is in the European Union increasingly very important . One of the main ways of implementing a quality policy in the Community (Quality Policy) is highlighting signs of supporting high-quality agri-food products from specific regions, as well as characterized by the traditional method of production.
System for the protection and promotion of regional and traditional products is one of the most important factors affecting the sustainable development of rural areas and the implementation of the objectives of the second pillar of the Common Agricultural Policy. Contributes to the diversification of rural employment by creating non-farm rural livelihoods and increase incomes of agricultural producers. It is of great importance, particularly for remote areas or areas with less-favored areas (LFA) because it prevents the depopulation of these areas. Through the protection and promotion of regional and traditional products also protects the cultural heritage of the village, which largely contribute to the attractiveness of rural areas and the development of agro-tourism and rural tourism.
Implemented in European Union policy also provides quality assurance to consumers that the food they purchase high quality, which also has a unique, traditional method of production. Due to the wide variety of products placed on the market, consumers also expect clear and comprehensive information about the quality and origin of the agricultural product or foodstuff. Identification and selection of individual products facilitate geographical indications, appellations of origin and traditional specialties guaranteed.
