Nascent Drama

"The application is a genuine attempt to protect the consumer and encourage investment in local economies."
 
CPA members make about 87 million pasties a year, in a growing market.
 
The 60 million pounds of sales represent about 6 percent of the Cornish food economy, it said.
 
Many ingredients are sourced locally and it is estimated 13,000 people are directly or indirectly benefiting from CPA trade, it added.
 
A spokesman for Defra said the application meets all the criteria for a protected food name.
 
It now goes in front of an appeal process before being considered by the European Commission.
 
Any trademark would cover the Cornish pasty's traditional recipe and appearance. A genuine Cornish pasty has a distinctive D shape with the pastry crimped on one side, never on top.
 
It is filled with minced or roughly cut chunks of beef, swede or turnip, potato and onion
 
"We believe it is not unreasonable to ask companies to honestly label their products so that the consumer is guaranteed a level of quality, recipe and origin when they purchase them," the CPA said.

CRETEIL, France (Reuters)
 
A 16-year-old French girl suspected of holding up seven banks was formally charged with armed robbery on Friday, a prosecutor said.
 
The teen was arrested on Wednesday as she was fleeing the scene of an armed robbery at an HSBC bank branch in the suburb of Maisons-Alfort, south-east of Paris.
 
Investigators believe the girl played a crucial role in six previous bank robberies since the beginning of July, threatening staff with a gun to force them to open security doors to let in two or three masked accomplices.
 
The hold-up gang made off with hundreds of thousands of euros after spraying tear gas into the banks to cover their escape.
 
The teen robber had no previous criminal record and her family was not known to police.
