Denmark sued the European Union's executive Commission on Monday for
giving Greece exclusive rights to produce feta cheese, calling the
product a generic foodstuff, not a regional delicacy.
Greece has tried since 1989 to have the EU ban other nations from
using the label, saying the cheese has been made there since ancient
times.
