Romania: Romania Amends COOL on Milk and Dairy

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In June 2017, the Romanian Parliament amended its May 2016 country of origin labeling (COOL) requirements for milk and dairy products. The 2016 law was not enforced due to EU-related procedural deficiencies. Updated text mandates that dairy processors must specify on the label country of origin or the place of provenance making up the largest percentage of product composition. Romania’s amended milk and dairy COOL law is expected to enter into force on January 1, 2018.
