the increase of import at zero duty authorized dall’Europarlamento until 2017 threatens Italian one in three. This was stated by Coldiretti, underlining the problems caused by unfair competition from extra-amount, equal to one third of the national production. Warns also Aifo (Italian Association of olive mill) Confartigianato that “is at risk another symbol of quality product made in Italy. European decisions on the reduction of import duties on oil from Tunisia will have serious consequences on our 4,700 mills
produce on average 380,000 tons per year of 100% oil made in Italy “.
The Minister of Health Beatrice Lorenzin noted that the Strasbourg assembly vote is “just the latest of the attacks to our oil.” Earlier, the minister recalled, there was the issue of stamps on foodstuffs decided from Britain: “In that case – detects Lorenzin – had been decided a ‘red dot’ for our olive oil, but a ‘stamp green ‘, for example, for the coke. ”
Meanwhile, Tunisia have already arrived in 2015 ninety million pounds of olive oil, in the face of a tricolor production, which stood at 300 million pounds. With the final go-ahead from Strasbourg, is expected an additional share of imports from Tunisia without duties in the European Union more than 35,000 tons per year of olive oil, which will be added to the current 56,700 tons at zero duty already provided by ‘association agreement EU-tunisia.
“These figures – according to Coldiretti – have made of Tunisia in 2015 the third largest exporter after Spain and Greece, with total arrivals amounted to 538 million liters. In parallel to ‘ increased imports from non-EU Tunisia, in Italy in 2015 have quadrupled fraud in the sector of oils and fats, with a record increase of 278 percent over the previous year. “
” in 2015 we were performed by Nas seizures in the sector of oils and fats to 29.5 million Euros, with 58 people reported to the judicial authorities and 345 administrative authority reported, compared with 2,691 controls. the real risk in an important year for shooting national olive – says Coldiretti – is thus the proliferation of fraud, with the imported olive oils, which are often mixed with domestic ones, to acquire, with the pictures on the label and under the cover of historical brands, a semblance of Italian from exploit the markets, to the detriment of Italian producers and consumers. “
