Gloria Martín explained that that day ends the deadline given by the Plenary to constitute the promoter commission that will fight for the achievement of this quality badge and that IU will take the initiative with the producers "until those who should lead this project get down to business to the work "
The councilor of the United Left-Greens, Gloria Martín, reported the meeting held yesterday between representatives of the association of producers of aromatic plants in the north of the municipality and the Spartary Federation with the Director General of Food Industry and Agricultural Cooperativism, of the Ministry of Water, Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Environment, José Gómez Ortega, and his technical team.
The meeting has been promoted by the IU councilwoman herself in the absence of the initiative of the City of Lorca to comply with the Plenary Agreement for the creation of a promoter commission for the achievement of the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Red thyme of the Highlands of Lorca.
"The deadline expires on December 28 and the neighbors were tired of evasion and having to run after those who hold the competitions, so we decided to take action," said Martin.
In this regard, the councilwoman of IU-Greens said she was "tired" of working on motions that try to respond to neighborhood concerns so that they remain in wet paper.
Therefore, he announced that his municipal group will not give up taking the initiative in this matter "until those who must lead this project with the producers get down to work."
Gloria Martín demanded that the "illusion and hopes" that the people of La Paca, Zarcilla de Ramos, Coy, Dońa Inés, Avilés, Las Terreras, La Parroquia and Zarzadilla de Totana take seriously into this objective are taken seriously.
"Meanwhile, IU councilors will continue to make as many steps as necessary and accompany the neighbors where necessary," he warned.
In this regard, he recalled that on December 28 the Promotional Commission must be constituted "if we want to comply with the agreement we approved in plenary."
Otherwise, producers will have to do it alone without the support of their City Council, which will have breached their own mandate.
The round of contacts prior to the formal request of the PDO has also included a meeting of the producers of the Highlands with representatives of the Regulatory Council of the PDO Pimentón de Murcia, whom Martín thanked "his good advice and offered us all his experience on the road that they have already traveled successfully. "
Producers have already commissioned a specialized firm to create the "Tierras Altas de Lorca" brand, while the Denomination of Origin is being processed.
"We want the fruit of their work to be protected and promoted under a common denominator, while we strive to achieve the quality label."
Martin lamented that in this step there has been no institutional support "at the moment", although the creation of the brand was also approved in plenary at the proposal of IU.
