Congratulations to Brian Switzer on his confirmation as Deputy U.S. Trade Representative! We look forward to working together to protect common food and beverage names that U.S. producers rely on to compete fairly in markets around the world. @USTradeRep #Trade
Progress on US–EU trade is good news, but we must address Europe’s long-standing campaign to monopolize common food & beverage names. Pursuing a solution that supports US cheese, meat, wine + beer producers must be a priority in the next phase. thehill.com/homenews/admin…
Last year, the U.S. had a $3B dairy trade deficit with the EU. Today, USTR spotlighted a major culprit: EU GI policies that ban common names like “parmesan” for non-EU producers. We appreciate @USTradeRep’s strong stance against this unfair trade barrier. #DairyTrade #Special301
Terrific news! The European Commission confirmed today that 'emmentaler' cannot be protected as a GI, and can be produced, marketed, and sold anywhere in the EU. This is a terrific precedent, emphasizing again that nobody has the exclusive right to common names!
Congratulations to the four House sponsors of the SAVE Act on their reelection to Congress! We look forward to working together to pass this critical bill and protect and expand market access for U.S. ag producers. @RepDustyJohnson @RepJimCosta @RepFischbach @RepJimmyPanetta
Congratulations to @SenatorBaldwin! We look forward to continuing to work together to protect common food and beverage names and expand market access for U.S. ag producers through the SAVE Act.
This month’s US-Chile agreement showed that the US gov’t has the resources and influence to stand up for #CommonName producers – thank you to @USDA and @USTradeRep. As Chief Ag Negotiator McKalip shared this week in WI, there are more markets to open and more work to be done!
How German is your doner? As @hchuaeoan notes, in Bloomberg @opinion, "There’s always been a fusion of cuisines and a diffusion of ideas. No country really owns a dish when you break down the recipe." bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Today’s common names agreement signed by the Chilean National Congress will deliver significant market access benefits to common name cheesemakers and meat producers around the world. Thank you to @USTradeRep and @USDA for standing up for what is right. conta.cc/47gahzx
Thank you to @SenatorBaldwin for your continued support and advocacy for common name producers! We look forward to continuing to work together to safeguard common names in markets around the world. bit.ly/4dKwtnS
Thank you to Ag Committee Chairs @CongressmanGT and @SenStabenow for their steadfast support for common names protections in the farm bill. CCFN looks forward to working with both committees to advance a strong #FarmBill that empowers common name producers to compete worldwide.
Today, the US House took a major step to tying its GSP trade program to the protection of #CommonNames. Thank you @RepAdrianSmith, @RepJimmyPanetta and @RepFischbach for standing up for what’s right! myemail-api.constantcontact.com/House-GSP-Bill…
Being able use #commonnames to sell and market beloved food and beverages is a simple, yet critical right for producers and manufacturers. We appreciate #USTR identifying GI abuse as a high-priority trade barrier - it's critical to now turn those words into actions.
American #cheesemakers won awards for their #parmesan, #asiago, #brie, #havarti cheeses + more at this year’s World Championship Cheese Contest – proving once again that the EU does not have the exclusive right to produce world-class #commonname cheeses. conta.cc/3T7shoU
Jaime Castaneda brought CCFN’s message straight to #USTR today, where he testified on the need for more action to protect users of #commonnames against #EU monopolization efforts. conta.cc/3SKO2Le

Thank you to @dairyanton, @mkkovac, and the Hon. Tim Groser for a great discussion on how we can improve international dairy trade, including debating how to create a framework that respects #CommonName interests. #IDFWDS2023
