11/07/2011 (Agence Europe) - Shallot war. Three new Dutch varieties are being marketed as “shallots sets” (bulbs), to the great displeasure of French producers who view this as a misleading term, as they are simply varieties of onion. From 2006, producers have had to accept the Commission ruling allowing the designation “shallot sets” for shallot-onion hybrids. (L.C./transl.rt)
