Designation of Origin is the manifestation of the principle of local functional specialization that has been prevalent in Europe for centuries: individual places specializing unique products, like Rocquefort cheese or Champagne. What a great deal for these places to have a monopoly on their own names! Must bring in millions of Euros. In a world of commodified produce of often untraceable origins, destination of origin laws guarantee that your food came from one specific spot that specializes in that product.
