A new culinary dispute has erupted between Greeks and Turks on the island of Cyprus. The two communities are arguing about the origin of halloumi cheese and are waiting for the European Commission to determine its affiliation.
Halloumi cheese is a cultural product, with Turkish Cypriots claiming 25% of its exports, which is why they want a share of it. According to the Turkish Chamber of Industry, halloumi cheese should belong to both communities in Cyprus.
The Turks have raised the issue of the cheese's affiliation with the European Commission in the person of the head of its delegation to Nicosia, Georgios Markopouliotis.
The reason for the request of the Turkish Cypriots is the fact that the government in the country asked the European Commission to register halloumi cheese as a Greek product.
However, the Turkish Chamber of Industry immediately demanded that a special formula be found for the registration of halloumi, which also protects the interests of Turkish Cypriots.
As early as the beginning of July, the Cypriot government requested that halloumi cheese be registered with a protected designation of origin. Such recognition would mean that only Cyprus can produce and market a product under this or similar names - such as helim, and no other producer or trader is allowed to call its cheese that way.
The name halloumi will be protected as a trademark, and a possible patent will guarantee traders in Cyprus export advantages to the rest of the European Union.
Agriculture Minister Nikos Kujanis said he expects Cyprus to receive a positive response from the European Commission within 6-8 months, and then there is another 3 months to submit objections from other EU countries.
Turkish Cypriots presented the possibility to the European Commission in Nicosia to trade through a green line that divides the two islands and allows the Greek and Turkish economies to converge, avoiding conflicts over the origin of food produced in Cyprus.
