Resolutions and mandates

Delegates at the 2010 AGM passed a resolution calling for the mandatory clear labelling of food with its true country of origin.

Resolution: This meeting urges HM Government to introduce clear and mandatory country of origin labelling on all meat, poultry and fish products sold in this country.

The NFWI will now be campaigning in Westminster and Europe for improved country of origin labelling. Please contact the Public Affairs department for further information on how you can get involved or visit the COOL campaign page.

WI members can download the resolution submission form and other resources from the Campaign Resources area on the WI MOODLE.
Every year WI members put forward resolutions for discussion at the AGM in June. If passed, these then become mandates and form the basis of campaigning activities in the years ahead.Members at the 2005 AGM
Before the final resolutions is put to the AGM, it has been through a year long debating and consultation process, and been selected from up to 100 other proposals. This process ensures that our campaigns have been through a democratic process involving all members and come from the grass-roots of the organisation.
