派工廠為了保持梅爾頓莫布雷的名字

豬肉餡餅農場已經決定關閉其豬肉餡餅工廠特威爾特郡和生產轉移到諾丁漢。去年豬肉派特洛布裏治了1.15億,其中70%,或8000萬年售出梅爾頓莫布雷餡餅。該網站從北方食品購買。梅爾頓莫布雷的爭奪餡餅可以發展成為一個案件之間的製造商和英國政府在一個應用程序來保護歐盟地理標誌名稱(GI)係統。北方食品將政府告上法庭的鬥爭,演變成一個開創性的情況下在胃腸道係統,它可以為製造商帶來的問題。如果歐盟委員會資助GI地位派,可能,它將是第一個食譜產品在英國接受這樣的保護。在受保護的地理標誌(PGI)形式的地位和要求必須產生一個特定的產品,加工或準備在一個特定的地理區域。梅爾頓莫布雷地區派製造商申請的指定要什麼保護配方並創建一個獨家1800平方英裏區域的豬肉餡餅。梅爾頓的麵積超出區包括萊斯特的城市,諾丁漢和北安普頓。從英國政府批準後,應用程序發送到2003年委員會決定PGI地位。 However the application was challenged in the UK and European courts by Northern Foods, the then owner of Pork Farms. In November 2006, Northern Foods dropped its legal action after agreeing to a deal that would allow the company five years to switch production of its Melton Mowbray pork pies into the PGI region. Now Pork Farms has said it has carried out a strategic review and decided to relocate production into the PGI region.“這確定了要求一個製造業投資,將會是一個卓越中心為冷派製造、”該公司本月發表的一份聲明中表示。新網站位於PGI指定區域。公司將投資£11米的植物,將九個月。特網站將產品轉移到皇後區開車,諾丁漢網站從1月到2008年3月,2008年4月前沒有關閉,該公司表示。除了指定區域,PGI應用程序指定真正梅爾頓莫布雷豬肉餡餅必須製成的灰色的顏色和未硫化的豬肉。菜譜還呼籲生產商烤餡餅站都是免費的,給它一個獨特的形狀。派生產商以外的地區使用醃豬肉和一個金屬箍給他們派一個標準化的看。Samworth兄弟協會的主要成員和市場領導者,在萊斯特製造梅爾頓莫布雷豬肉餡餅,這是在區域內。在其上訴北方食品認為該區域人為大,為了保護Samworth兄弟,梅爾頓莫布雷餡餅協會的主要成員和市場領袖。2005年12月21日,最高法院裁定支持Defra的應用程序,表示它可以通過歐盟委員會繼續審批流程。 Northern Foods indicated it would appeal. On 24 January the Court of Appeal decided to turn down the company's first application for permission to appeal the December ruling. On 14 March 2006, the Court of Appeal ruled that case would be referred to the European Court of Justice. Melton Mowbray Pork Pies are made by both large scale food manufacturers and small artisan producers up and down the country. The market is worth an estimated £51.7m per year and is the fastest growing section of the pork pie market, says Northern Foods. Samworth Brothers has a 62 per cent market share, followed by Northern Foods, which had a 24 per cent market share at the time. Samworth Brothers manufactures over 99 per cent of the pies produced by association members. The Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association lodged an application with Defra in 1999. In 1993 EU legislation came into force which provides for a system for the protection of food names on a geographical or traditional recipe basis. The system is similar to the familiar"appellation controllée" system used for wine. The scheme highlights regional and traditional foods whose authenticity and origin can be guaranteed. Under this system a named food or drink registered at a European level will be given legal protection against imitation throughout the EU. About 40 UK products have been registered with the EU including Stilton Cheese, Cornish Clotted Cream and West Country Farmhouse Cheddar. The EU wants international recognition for the GI system and has applied to World Trade Organisation to get it ratified. That application is being contested by the US, which claims the system is nothing but another form of trade protection. Northern Foods is also facing a similar battle against the Cornish Pasty Association, which has applied for PGI status. Defra, which has a policy of promoting traditional foods, has to approve the application before it is sent on to the European Commission for consideration. The association is a group of about 40 of the county's pasty manufacturers and bakers. ACNielsen values the UK's retail savoury pastries market at around £307m with a growth of six per cent year-on-year. The EU's GI regime is meant to protect local food producers across the bloc from having their traditional brand names used by processors elsewhere. The system has shut out producers who were using what they thought was a generic name for their products. Since its introduction in 1992 about 700 foods and drinks have been approved for GI protection, with another 300 applications under consideration. About 40 per cent of the bloc's citizens say they are willing to pay a 10 per cent premium for specially designated products, according to a Commission survey.
