No comment really. This is just another effect of the EU flexing its new-found muscle and could be a dangerous precedent.

You know, *we* really don't *need* globalization.
And it wouldn't take much to become an *industrial* country again.

I can't wait to go visit Gorgon or Mozza to see where those cheeses are made.

The name Dijon mustard, for example, could only be used for cheese made in that particular region of France. Dijon mustard is cheese???! :O
Wait till I tell the old Italian cheesemakers I know that they're not making mozzerella any more. But in truth, Parmagiano Reggiano is only from a certain region in Italy for a long time. But then, it's in the name- Parmgiano="From Parma" Mozzerella is technically a cheese made from the milk of a water buffalo. Gee, hope that's not racist ; )

Anheuser-Busch has been litigating the Czech Republic for years over the name Budweiser beer. A-B has been wanting sole proprietary rights to quash the much better East European beer with the same name.

We should not surrender cheese names to the French.

 I dunno, I might like this geographic-naming idea. It would be helpful to me if instead of being able to sell Champagne, Beaujolias, etc. in the U.S., the French had to label all of their stuff "French Wine". White, red, sparkling... who cares? If it's from France, it's "French Wine," period.
