A Turkish proposal to enforce strict rules on doner kebab preparation in the EU has been withdrawn. The initiative aimed for a 'Traditional Speciality Guaranteed' label, which would have impacted Germany's kebab industry, where the dish has evolved differently from its Turkish origins. German officials argued that their version is part of their national cuisine, while Turkish authorities claimed it is a national dish. The Turkish federation's lack of consultation with Germany led to backlash, and the proposal faced numerous objections before its withdrawal. Teljes cikk (bbc.com europe)
