Greece is pressing Australia for stronger market protections for two of its most iconic food products — feta cheese and olive oil. Food Minister Margaritis Schinas held talks on Wednesday with Australian Ambassador Alison Duncan in Athens. The meeting was also attended by Deputy Foreign Minister Harry Theoharis, who oversees economic diplomacy.
Greek officials emphasised that Australia’s firm commitment is needed to ensure the proper implementation of previously agreed measures safeguarding the authenticity and correct labelling of these products in the Australian market.Advertising1 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The discussions also covered Australian investment opportunities in Greece’s agricultural sector and ways to further boost Greek food exports to Australia.
