It is crazy that the EU-regulation for labelling marmelade even existed when the distinction between (citrus) marmelade and jam is only a british thing
with other kinds of fruit spread named **“jam” or equivalent terms in other languages. **
Here we have marmalade or syltetøj.
And they used to have distinct meanings, which I am not quite familiar with. I think for marmalade there originally was a requirement of a certain level of sugar content. But IMO such a requirement would not make much sense today.
Seems to me the article is doing a piss poor job at giving a concise description of what the regulation actually means.

Some lobby probably was interested in it.
