"We welcome the conclusion of an agreement between the European Union and Georgia on the mutual protection of geographical indications (GIs) covering a wide range of agricultural products such as cheeses, oils and fats, bread and pastry, fruit, vegetables, cereals, fresh meats and meat products, fresh fish and seafood, wines, spirits and beers.
It has been described as a bilateral agreement for the protection of GIs – the first of this kind with a partner from the European Neighbourhood. The agreement has specific benefits for both parties. On the EU side, this bilateral agreement should ensure that around 820 food GIs (from 23 Member States) registered by the EU will be protected in Georgia, which is highly reassuring for EU agricultural production since it will ensure that the characteristics and the quality that make it stand out will be respected.
This agreement can also be seen as a positive step for wider EU-Georgia trade relations. Indeed, in July 2010, the EU started negotiating with Georgia for a bilateral association agreement which should have a trade component, namely, a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA)."@en1
