All of this is absolutely unacceptable and would have disastrous consequences for our olive growing. This is why a mobilisation is needed that sees politics stand alongside the world of trade associations in a battle we cannot afford to lose. Not only that. With a view to promoting distinctiveness and quality, we also firmly hope for the extension of the SIAN system at European level[\/I]&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/wpallimport\/files\/20180216181753.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abolishing the panel test &#8211; the sensory analysis of virgin and extra virgin olive oil &#8211; would not only pave the way for fraud and deception, but would destroy an&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4436,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_fp_seo_title":"%%title%% | OP Latium","_fp_seo_meta_description":"News from OP Latium \u2014 olive producers' organisation in Lazio.","_fp_seo_focus_keyword":"","_fp_seo_meta_canonical":"","_fp_seo_meta_robots":"","_fp_seo_geo_claims":"","_fp_seo_geo_expose":"","_fp_seo_geo_no_ai_reuse":"","_yoast_wpseo_title":"%%title%% | OP Latium","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"News from OP Latium \u2014 olive producers' organisation in Lazio.","_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-description":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-description":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_product_cat":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oplatium.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oplatium.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oplatium.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oplatium.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oplatium.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6447"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.oplatium.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6447\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7953,"href":"https:\/\/www.oplatium.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6447\/revisions\/7953"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oplatium.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oplatium.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oplatium.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oplatium.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
