German producers have sparked a dispute by filing an opposition to a Turkish application to grant the döner kebab’s special status at the EU level, initiating a six-month period to resolve disagreements.

A Turkish application to the European Commission for the döner kebab to be given similar EU recognition as the Neapolitan pizza and Spain’s jamon serrano has been opposed by Germany, sources close to the issue have told Euronews.

As reported, in April Türkiye filed an application to register the name döner in Europe so that it can be used only by those producers conforming to the registered production method and product specifications.

    What’s meant by “not much is done by the city for this corner”? It’s not a “corner”. It’s a big junction in a very large and populated neighborhood. I don’t consider it a ghetto around there, actually it’s expensive to live near there. The junction itself has been recently upgraded making it safer for pedestrians and cyclists. Further, most of the Turkish are German citizens. How are the German government forcing people into these neighborhoods?
