Synopsis (short abstract) 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.

On 20 December, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and oriGIn hosted the online event, Third regional consultation on geographical indications in Europe and Central Asia. Some 111 representatives from 34 countries of geographical indications (GIs) groups, national intellectual property offices and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), other public authorities (the representatives of ministries for agriculture and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development), as well as geographical indication (GI) experts, participated in the event. A discussion paper was presented during the consultation outlining key concepts and global trends concerning GIs today. The empirical material presented in the paper was primarily built on oriGIn and FAO experiences, but also on country studies prepared for the Russian Federation, Republic of Moldova, Georgia, a group of Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan), as well as European Union countries (France, Poland, Hungary and Croatia). On behalf of oriGIn – the global alliance of GI – Massimo Vittori, Managing Director, coordinated the activities carried out by oriGIn.
