The European Charter for Mountain
Quality Food Products
Consequently to the previous
project on mountain food products led by Euromontana, a European
Charter of Mountain Quality Food Products had been set up. A technical approval
of the draft has been realised by the members of the board of Euromontana on the
first semester 2005.
What is the
charter?
It's an European policy charter which translates the intention of its signatories to characterise, protect and promote mountain quality food products and thus to contribute to the sustainable development of the economies and territories of Europe's mountain regions.
The text of the
charter is available:
Charte-en ; Charte-fr
; Charte-es ;
Charte - it ;
Charte-de
What is the
purpose?
This Charter addresses economic development and policy objectives which are:
- the better identification of these quality mountain products in the market.
- the recognition and promotion of the role of farmers and enterprises that produce in the mountain areas in Europe.
For a better
understanding of the bases and the issues of the Charter, an explaination
document has been created. Just read it:

Who can sign this Charter?
The signatories of this Charter could be any legal persons incorporated under public or private law, working or involved in the area of local development, environment, agricultural production, food processing, distribution, commercialisation or consumption or any bodies defending the interests of mountain regions.
The launch of the Charter and the official signing ceremony took place on the 7th of December in the European Parliament, in Brussels.
