"The feature of territoriality – explains Giovanni De Angelis, the General Director of the ANICAV, the Association of growers of processing vegetables – is required in order to obtain a PGI, and it is linked to the processing stage, which is exclusively carried out in Campania, with specific particularities in the provinces of Naples and Salerno, and for the past two decades, in some of the neighboring provinces like Chieti, Potenza, Campobasso and Foggia."
"The Apulia region hosts virtually all of the tomato production of the industry in southern Italy, whereas Campania almost only has processing companies (Princes and Rosso Gargano in Foggia, Conserve Italia in Mesagne, Castellano in Cerignola)." The Regional Councilor pointed out that "the report presented to the Committee for the Promotion of the "Pomodoro Pelato Napoli" PGI [did not clearly demonstrate] the involvement of all of Apulia's growers." The region also argued that "the acknowledgment of a PGI can only be based on the existence of elements demonstrating "a well-established usage" of the indication, which is not the case for the so-called peeled tomato of Naples. Finally, it is certain that such a measure would penalize our sector, which is an essential link in southern Italy's industry – so our refusal is not a question of parochial interest but of merit."
