BookletCorporate general interestSecond Regional Consultation on Geographical Indications in Europe and Central Asia
Executive summary − Budapest, Hungary, 28−29 November 2019
2021Also available in:
No results found.The different speakers’ contributions and discussion showed that post registration activities are essential to materialise potential economic, environmental and social benefits and enhance Geographical Indications (GIs) sustainability. That implies in particular to establish a robust institutional system ensuring that the system offers the expected guarantees on quality, origin and production methods. The state responsibility in supervising the control and certification system, in fighting counterfeits through ex-officio procedures and informing producers and consumers about the quality signs are essential to the success of the scheme. The role of collective value chain organisation was also mentioned as an undisputable success factor, in many aspects such as quality control management and promotion of GIs to consumers. It was noted that in many instances the absence of pro-active producer organisation result in sleeping GI, namely GI that have been registered but not used properly. -

No results found.The Promotion of Geographical Indication Products examines the importance and potential of geographical indication (GI) in Central Asia, drawing insights from global experiences in promoting GI products. It includes successful case studies and provides recommendations for Kyrgyzstan. The document aims to illustrate a number of good practices in the promotion of GIs and appellation of origin (AO) products by showing the quality and other positive impacts of geographical indication (GI) value chains. The experiences can inspire groups of producers, processors and other possible stakeholders who want to know how to promote a GI product and communicate about products that are not fully standardized. The document also shows the importance of promoting GI and AO signs, especially in countries where consumers are not familiar with the GI quality signs introduced recently.The document has four sections. The first of those introduces a number of concepts and definitions related to GI system implementation. It also discusses the ways in which the state can assist with the promotion of GIs. The second section addresses different aspects of GI product promotion, the roles of different players, in particular producer organizations – or geographical indication managing organizations (GIMOs). Part 3 presents good international practices in the field of communication and promotion of GIs, in the hope that the actions, ideas and events might inspire GI producers in Central Asia. The last section offers a number of recommendations to public authorities, value-chain operators, and development agencies. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPromoting sustainability through the registration of geographical indications
Guidelines for public authorities to examine applications
2023Also available in:
No results found.A geographical indication (GI) is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess characteristics or a reputation that are intrinsic to that origin. GIs can be registered as intellectual property rights (IPR) to ensure their protection. In countries where GIs are recognized under a public framework, public authorities can play an important role in the creation of favourable conditions for GIs to contribute to sustainable development and sustainable food systems. In particular, public authorities in charge of GI rights have an important responsibility when examining applications for protection, and the registration should ensure that GIs can function well. The examination of applications not only serves to verify the legitimacy of the GI as an IPR in terms of the link to the origin, but can also influence the GI system’s effectiveness and sustainability performance, in relation with key factors highlighted in the literature such as the clear definition of the specific quality linked to the geographical origin, the local governance, the appropriate marketing strategy. The objective of these guidelines is to provide guidance to public authorities and experts that examine GI applications. These guidelines provide examples and recommendations related to the procedures for the examination of GI requests. They focus on the two types of criteria for the registration: 1) the legal criteria that determine the admissibility for registration (link to origin) and 2) additional criteria that can be considered to help improve the GI system’s sustainability. Finally, the guidelines offer a list of questions to guide examiners along the examination process.
