Does your country also put this "mask" on products they make for export ?

I mean...
I don't listen to this kind of music, but the marketing this one song has made is insane.

Bitdefender being good? They are nowhere now
UiPath? Noname
Emag? Amazon wannabe but terrible.
Dacia? Well, really depends :D

imagine, some reddit random who probably never accomplished anything in life other than abusing his local kebab shop is criticizing companies that have billions in turnover. do your community a favour and cancel your internet subscription.

Bitdefender has 500 million users world-wide
Dacia Sandero is first place by units sold in Europe-28. Followed by Dacia Duster in 12th place.
UiPath has a market cap of 7 billion.
eMAG has 9 million clients in 3 countries
You have no idea how boring doomers get with gratuitous, unbacked by facts self-deprecating claims. 😴

Maybe EU plus the country is the best destination

Same with Turkey. I remember Turkey in the 90's and early 2000's would randomly stick the EU flag (in anticipation?) Even though we had our own "Made in Turkey" logo https://images.app.goo.gl/vqjuHK2qXuhyuePg9

No, but let me tell you what Italians used to do. For a long time Greece didn't have distilleries for olive oil, and we couldn't put it on the market, so we sold it to Italy. Italians would take the olive oil and pack it. The package said "Distilled in Italy" with big letters in the front, and in some corner with small letters it would say, "Olive oil from EU". They obviously never mentioned Greece ("Greek olive oil") because they didn't want to advertise us, and they wanted to push the narrative that the best olive oil is Italian. They did the same with the Spanish and Portuguese. (the best olive oil is from Kalamata imo)
Obviously Italians have amazing olive oil too

Similar with lots of products from Spain actually coming from Morocco and being rebranded. Olives, oranges, tuna and probably a lot more. Except they don't even write that it actually is from Morocco.

It used to be the case 10-15 years back. But now the romanticism of the West faded and nearly all local products have "Made in Romania" or "Made from Romanian xxx" displayed.

When I was visiting Romania, I would specifically look for the products with the Romanian tags on them.
I was new. I didn't have any brand loyalty to any of the brands offered, so if I had to choose one randomly, I just went with the Romanian one. I still remember that catchy Auchan jingle that sounds like "Ocean!"

The one for Türkiye

I don’t knowing this is still in use for exports
mamlazmamlazic@reddit
We have something like an official logo for "made in Serbia" but i prefer Lidl's "With love, domestic" logo that marks Serbian brands since it incorporates folk designs
Angeronus@reddit
No we do not but then again we don't really produce anything here anymore. We mostly export food products i suppose and we put "made in Greece" in those.
blumonste@reddit
No, that is not true. I keep buying papoutsanis olive oil soap made in Greece. Good quality natural soap.

Not to offend anyone in Romania and Bulgaria but I got several filter tubes which were made in the E.U. according to the packaging and I am not happy about the quality of gluing, paper tubes separate from the almost left open seams.
I looked it up to see which country they were made in and came across with Bulgaria and/or Romania.
I don't like anything made in the E.U anymore. I will look for the name of a country stated as the origin from now on. If they trust their product to stand behind it, they would be brave enough to put their country's name on it and not hide behind meaningless EU mask.
Besrax@reddit
You mean cigarette tubes? That's by design, so that you get so mad that you give up on smoking. Bulgaria and Romania care about your health and want you to be your best self, one step at a time. 😘

Thanks.

Germoney: known for precision manufacturing

Bulgaria: What do you mean the americans think we are russians? Where is that on a map of asia again?
New-Interaction1893@reddit
That statement is not very distant from the truth
el_primo@reddit
High quality only!
Outrageous-Bad5759@reddit
Made in Karaboga.

It used to be like that, but nowadays a lot of manufacturers put 'made in Bulgaria' on their products to differentiate them from Chinese ones.
There aren't a lot of manufactured goods that are still produced locally but the ones that are, they are generally considered higher quality than generic Chinese ones.
