‘Made in Europe’ labels may soon tag Irish goods

IRISH-MADE goods could have a “made in Europe” label attached to them if Italy has its way.

The country known for its chic clothing and expensive names thinks the Europe tag would be good for business. It has asked the European Commission to come up with some proposals. The first ideas are due to be released at the end of February.

A spokesperson for the Commission said the Made in Europe or Made in the EU label would not mean a ban on products saying in which country they were made.
