South Tyrol towards obligation to indicate the origin of the meat
Meeting under the chairmanship of Paula Bacher, the IV legislative commission of the provincial council of Bolzano unanimously expressed a favorable opinion on the provincial bill 122/22, which establishes this obligation in collective catering. The provision sees the signature of the councilors of the SVP, Manfred Vallazza , Franz Locher and Josef Noggler and Brigitte Foppa of the Greens. The examination of the provision had been suspended in the last session pending the financial opinion of the Province.
"The opinion has arrived and, within this framework, the signatories have submitted a slightly modified proposal; the bill has therefore received a unanimous favorable opinion", according to Bacher .
The proposal, which makes it mandatory to mention the origin of certain ingredients of animal origin contained in meals served in restaurants, school and hospital canteens, in order to guarantee transparency for consumers and strengthen the socio-economic role of mountain agriculture, will now be approved by the Regional Council.
