The EU parliament voted on Wednesday to prohibit vegetarian and vegan products from using meat-like names such as vegos sausage and vegoburger. The proposal, backed by the European meat lobby, faces strong criticism from Swedish food industry players and politicians. Compromise negotiations with member states now lie ahead.
Negotiators from the European Parliament and EU member states agreed in Brussels on a new processing fee for every product ordered online and imported into the EU. The fee is set to apply from November 1 and cover costs for handling small packages.
