Turkey and Germany are having a dispute over kebab

According to the Association of European Dener Kebab Manufacturers (ATDID), Germany has two-thirds of the sales of this product in the European market, which is estimated at 2.4 billion euros per year.

The Turkey-based International Federation of Döner (UDOFED) has submitted an application to the European Commission to grant the döner kebab a Traditional Specialty Guaranteed (TSG) status. However, Germany has claimed the kebab as its own. AFP and Bild wrote this on Friday, July 26.

It is stated that the status means that the preparation of dener kebab in the EU will meet a strict list of standards – from the exact composition of the meat and spices to the thickness of the knife used to cut the meat. And those who do not meet these requirements cannot call their product dener kebab.

In Berlin, they say that the döner kebab was invented in Germany in 1972.

“Everyone who prepares kebab will decide for themselves, without instructions from Ankara, how to prepare it,” said German Agriculture Minister Cem Ozdemir, whose parents immigrated from Turkey.

He noted that the German Ministry of Agriculture received Turkey’s application “with surprise” and threatened “economic consequences” for the Turkish side.

To resolve the dispute, the German government filed a protest against the Turkish application. The European Commission must now decide whether Berlin’s objection is acceptable. If so, both sides have to reach a compromise within six months.

London-based chef and cookbook author of Ukrainian origin, Olya Hercules, has been named one of Vogue’s most inspiring and influential women in Britain for the first time.
