Economic aspects of geographical indication protection at EU level for non-agricultural products in the EU
Metadaten zur Veröffentlichung
In the European Union, there are numerous non-agricultural products made based on local knowledge and following local production methods that are rooted in the cultural and social heritage of their home region and that, ultimately, possess unique distinctive qualities and characteristics due to their geographical environment. In practice, the product name is typically a geographical indication (GI) including the name of its region of origin. GIs emphasise the link between such products and the region or location where it is produced. While some of these products are well known outside their home region or even internationally, other products remain recognisable primarily in their home region. Nevertheless, all of these are products of traditions, skills and materials developed and nurtured in regions and localities of the EU. The level of protection for non-agricultural products varies very much in the EU Member States. Alongside the legal debate on how to protect geographically rooted products and what could be the role of sui generis (i.e. specific) GI protection is the question of potential economic impacts of sui generis GI protection, especially if introduced and harmonised at EU level. The purpose of this study is developing a better understanding of economic aspects of protection of geographically rooted non-agricultural products in the EU. In order to do that, one needs to consider several aspects: - The landscape of products that exist in the EU; - Which effects a potential introduction of sui generis GI protection might have on consumers, on the producers of such products and on the regional economies where the products are produced.
