This the same we do here in Italy, also for Parma ham, but in
Canada they decided to ignore these protections. A lawsuit could
have been better used, or at least, after losing the lawsuit, UE
could have took action against canadian "fakes".
They did nothing, exactly as they do nothing against the USofA
import-fees on european goods. That's because european leaders
are divided, and so they are easy to pay, expecially if they get
paid to "do nothing": it's much easier than "do something".
