"A common control culture for geographical indications: a multi-level and multidisciplinary approach, best practice, public and private enforcement and the help of science" is the very grand and, if one might add without intending to be rude, very long title of a one day event held on 1 October under the auspices of Expo Milano.

By way of explanation, within the framework of EXPO Milano, the Directorate General for Agriculture and Rural Development of the European Commission (DG AGRI) put together a seminar with the objective "to stimulate a flow of ideas how fraud and infringements are detected and prevented on the ground: at production level, in the market place or at ports of entry into Europe".
