In short: 75% of Germans are for labeling European products but the supermarkets won't do it claiming it's too complicated.

Denmark has done it! At least, Salling Group, which is the biggest owning multiple different store names.

The problem with how Salling does it, is it's only based on ownership of the product. Someone could for example produce and manufacture 100% of the product in USA and then ship it to Denmark, but if the owner is european, then it'll be marked as a european product.

Considering that the USA is a high-cost country that is much more likely to own brands than it is to actually manufacture branded goods (that are sold in Europe, at least), who does anything similar and why would they?
