The amendment to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2429 addresses the origin labeling of fruit and vegetables from Western Sahara. It aims to align labeling requirements with a new agreement with Morocco, replacing the territory’s name with regional designations. The Parliament argues this contradicts EU law and rulings by the European Court of Justice. Consumers may be misled by ambiguous origin information, undermining transparency. The political goal is to uphold food labeling integrity and protect consumer rights.
