there are already European laws to clarify if a product is made entirely in a single country or in EU, same with raw materials; you can read it on the label of food, wine, oil, etc

In Latvia we recently introduced a law where we must add country of origin on price tags for all food products. It is quite fun and sometimes surprising to see where something was made.

I like stuff that says

Origin of beef: EU and outside of EU

Like yeah that's real specific

Can you also put a maple leaf for Canadian products so we don't accidentally become collateral damage to your response to Trump's madness?

Sure, but besides the top shelf maple sirup what else would it be applied to? I mean no offense, but I don't think that we import that much food from Canada
