The European Union is proud to present a selection of exceptional products from Greece and Latvia as part of the “Premium European Products” campaign. Titled “Information Provision and Promotion Measures on Agricultural Products in Canada, Malaysia, and South Korea,” this initiative seeks to elevate the profile of European food products in these key global markets. Under the slogan “Better Knowledge, Better Choice,” the campaign aims to bring awareness to the rich cultural heritage, meticulous production processes, and unwavering commitment to safety and quality that define European goods.
The campaign introduces an exquisite range of added-value products, including PDO olive oils, table olives, dried grapes, saffron, hard cheese, gum, and gum oil from Greece, as well as dairy products, candied fruits, chocolates, confectionery, and salty snacks from Latvia. The initiative is built on four main objectives: first, to raise awareness of these high-quality European products; second, to enhance their recognition among consumers; third, to drive an increase in consumption; and ultimately, to boost exports of these European products to Canada, Malaysia, and South Korea.
EU’s Commitment to Quality: Understanding the Labels
The European Union’s commitment to quality is represented by the PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) and PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) labels. These labels protect the names of products that originate from specific regions and have qualities or reputations linked to their production territory. The differences between PDO and PGI primarily relate to how much of the product’s raw materials must come from the area and how much of the production process must take place within the specific region. These factors are important indicators of authenticity and excellence.
Protected Designation of Origin (PDO): This label ensures that a product is produced, processed, and developed in a specific location, with qualities or characteristics that are intrinsically tied to its geographical environment. For example, the renowned “Krokos Kozanis” saffron from Greece is a PDO product, celebrated for its distinctive aroma and vibrant color, grown exclusively in the Kozani region.

PGI (Protected Geographical Indication):Similar to PDO, PGI products emphasize relation to their geographical area. However, unlike PDO, some production or development stages can occur outside the specified region. An example is the Latvian “Jāņu Siers” (Midsummer cheese), known for its cultural significance and traditional production methods.

Premium European Products from Greece and Latvia
The “Premium European Products” campaign offers a selection of high-quality goods from Greece and Latvia, including PDO olive oils, dried grapes, saffron, hard cheeses, and dairy products like cream cheese and sour cream. These products represent Europe’s rich heritage, combining time-honored traditions with strict safety and quality standards.
Greek Products: Greece contributes heaps of PDO products, including the renowned “Korinthiaki Stafida Vostizza” (Corinthian Currants) and “Graviera Kritis (Cretan Graviera Cheese), both of which are known for their distinct flavors and superior quality.
Latvian Products: Latvia offers a variety of dairy products, including curd snacks, cream cheese, and semi-hard cheeses, all made with the highest production standard, reflecting Latvia’s strong dairy traditions.

Ensuring Safety
The European Union’s strict regulations on food production ensure that these products meet the highest standards of safety and quality. From pesticide control to hygiene standards in processing facilities, every step of the production process is carefully monitored. Additionally, animal welfare is a key focus, with regulations ensuring that animals are raised in environments that prioritize their well-being.
Campaign Partners
This initiative is supported by two prominent organizations: the National Union of Agricultural Cooperatives of Greece (ETHEAS) and the Latvian Dairy Committee (LDC). Both organizations are dedicated to promoting the most prestigious products from their respective countries, reinforcing the reputation of European goods on the global stage.

Kesatuan Eropah dengan bangganya mempersembahkan pilihan produk luar biasa dari Greece dan Latvia sebagai sebahagian daripada kempen “Produk Eropah Premium”. Bertajuk “Langkah Penyediaan Maklumat dan Promosi Produk Pertanian di Kanada, Malaysia, dan Korea Selatan,” inisiatif ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan profil produk makanan Eropah di pasaran global utama ini. Di bawah slogan “Pengetahuan yang Lebih Baik, Pilihan yang Lebih Baik,” kempen ini bertujuan untuk menyedarkan orang ramai mengenai warisan budaya yang kaya, proses pengeluaran yang teliti, dan komitmen yang teguh terhadap keselamatan dan kualiti yang mendefinisikan barangan Eropah.
Kempen ini memperkenalkan pelbagai produk tambah nilai yang menakjubkan, termasuk minyak zaitun PDO, zaitun meja, kismis kering, safron, keju keras, getah, dan minyak getah dari Greece, serta produk tenusu, buah-buahan manisan, coklat, konfeksi, dan makanan ringan masin dari Latvia. Inisiatif ini dibina di atas empat objektif utama: pertama, untuk meningkatkan kesedaran tentang produk Eropah berkualiti tinggi ini; kedua, untuk meningkatkan pengiktirafan mereka di kalangan pengguna; ketiga, untuk mendorong peningkatan penggunaan; dan akhirnya, untuk meningkatkan eksport produk Eropah ini ke Kanada, Malaysia, dan Korea Selatan.
Komitmen EU terhadap Kualiti: Memahami Label
Komitmen Kesatuan Eropah terhadap kualiti diwakili oleh label PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) dan PGI (Protected Geographical Indication). Label ini melindungi nama produk yang berasal dari kawasan tertentu dan mempunyai kualiti atau reputasi yang berkaitan dengan wilayah pengeluarannya. Perbezaan antara PDO dan PGI terutamanya berkaitan dengan berapa banyak bahan mentah produk yang mesti datang dari kawasan tersebut dan berapa banyak proses pengeluaran yang mesti berlaku dalam wilayah tertentu. Faktor-faktor ini adalah petunjuk penting keaslian dan kecemerlangan.
1. Petunjuk Geografi Terlindung (PDO):
Label ini memastikan bahawa produk dihasilkan, diproses, dan dikembangkan di lokasi tertentu, dengan kualiti atau ciri-ciri yang berkait rapat dengan persekitaran geografi mereka. Sebagai contoh, safron “Krokos Kozanis” yang terkenal dari Greece adalah produk PDO, yang diraikan kerana aroma yang istimewa dan warna yang terang, yang hanya tumbuh di wilayah Kozani.

2. Indikasi Geografi Terlindung (PGI):
Sama seperti PDO, produk PGI menekankan kaitan dengan kawasan geografi mereka. Walau bagaimanapun, tidak seperti PDO, beberapa peringkat pengeluaran atau pembangunan boleh berlaku di luar wilayah yang ditentukan. Contohnya ialah “Jāņu Siers” (Keju Midsummer) dari Latvia, yang dikenali kerana kepentingan budaya dan kaedah pengeluaran tradisionalnya.

Produk Eropah Premium dari Greece dan Latvia
Kempen “Produk Eropah Premium” menawarkan pilihan barangan berkualiti tinggi dari Greece dan Latvia, termasuk minyak zaitun PDO, kismis kering, safron, keju keras, dan produk tenusu seperti keju krim dan krim masam. Produk-produk ini mewakili warisan Eropah yang kaya, menggabungkan tradisi yang lama dengan piawaian keselamatan dan kualiti yang ketat.
Produk Greece: Greece menyumbang pelbagai produk PDO, termasuk “Korinthiaki Stafida Vostizza” (Kismis Korintus) dan “Graviera Kritis” (Keju Graviera dari Crete), yang terkenal dengan rasa yang unik dan kualiti yang unggul.
Produk Latvia: Latvia menawarkan pelbagai produk tenusu, termasuk snek keju, keju krim, dan keju separa keras, yang semuanya dihasilkan dengan piawaian pengeluaran tertinggi, mencerminkan tradisi tenusu yang kuat di Latvia.

Menjamin Keselamatan
Peraturan ketat Kesatuan Eropah mengenai pengeluaran makanan memastikan produk-produk ini memenuhi piawaian keselamatan dan kualiti tertinggi. Dari kawalan racun perosak hingga piawaian kebersihan di kemudahan pemprosesan, setiap langkah dalam proses pengeluaran dipantau dengan teliti. Selain itu, kebajikan haiwan adalah fokus utama, dengan peraturan yang memastikan haiwan dipelihara dalam persekitaran yang mengutamakan kesejahteraan mereka.
Rakan Kempen
Inisiatif ini disokong oleh dua organisasi terkemuka: Kesatuan Nasional Koperasi Pertanian Greece (ETHEAS) dan Jawatankuasa Tenusu Latvia (LDC). Kedua-dua organisasi ini berdedikasi untuk mempromosikan produk paling berprestij dari negara masing-masing, memperkukuhkan reputasi barangan Eropah di peringkat global.
