A meeting is being held on Monday at the Presidential Office, during which it is expected to clarify the issue of the disposal of unused quantities of haloumi outside the PDO.
The meeting, which will be held at 10:30 am under the President of the Republic, Nicos Anastasiades, with the Cheese Makers' Association, will be attended by the Ministers of Agriculture and Energy, the Attorney General and Assistant Attorney General and officials.
During the meeting the opinion of the Legal Service will be discussed, which reaffirms that the product with the name "halloumi" is the one that meets the requirements of the European regulation, which registered halloumi as a product of Protected Designation of Origin (PDO).
The Government's aim is to control the production of the product in a uniform and integrated way, so that it meets the PDO specifications.
The opinion of the Legal Service clarifies that the product with the name halloumi is the one that meets the specifications of the European regulation, which registered the well-known Cypriot delicacy as a product of protected designation of origin (PDO), Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment Costas Kadis had told Cypriots earlier this week, noting that products that do not meet these specifications cannot bear the name halloumi.
