AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

The Commission proposed a delegated regulation on origin labelling for fruit and vegetables from Western Sahara, a non-self-governing territory distinct from Morocco.

Parliament rejected the objection to this measure, so the Commission's regulation will go ahead.

The resolution had objected that the labelling could mislead consumers about the true origin, contrary to EU food information rules.

AI: The text in short Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament objects to the Commission delegated regulation amending origin labelling rules for fruit and vegetables from Western Sahara, arguing it allows ambiguous labelling and fails to ensure clear identification of the true country of origin.
