European Union: EU Court of Justice Case on Country of Origin Labeling May Derail Labeling Ambitions of the Commission
An Advocate General of the Court of Justice of the EU delivered a non-binding opinion on a dairy labeling case stating that mandatory country of origin labeling may not be justified. The final ruling of the Court is expected for fall 2020. That ruling could have consequences for Member States’ national origin-labeling laws and the European Commission’s proposal for additional mandatory origin labeling for new categories of food products.
