Geographical indication

Of origin ( also: indications of origin or " with EU quality seal protected " ) product name which the consumer directly (eg, Black Forest ham ) or indirectly (eg feta ) are to give an indication of the production or processing area of an agricultural product or foodstuff. Indirectly, in this context means that a label which initially identifies itself no place or region, it is nevertheless hereby conceptually connected by the consumer. With Feta many automatically think, for example, Greece and the cheese Weißlacker to Bavaria and the Allgäu region or in Halver Hahn to the Rhineland or the city of Cologne.

Use in the European Union

Designations of origin could not be registered in many ( Northern) European countries at the national level for a long time as a brand, as it provided for a so-called need to maintain this. Due to the non-existing trademark protection, a number of appellations were used improperly or for cheap imitations of other origin. An example of this is the production of marzipan, which was predominantly south produced with this competition brief to the beginning of the 1980s from Hanover. Unlike the original, from Lübeck but this had a much smaller part on Mandela ( the sugar moiety was all the more later), so it could be produced cheaper.

In 1992 this problem was outlined replies by first rules " for the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs " adopted at the European level in 1992. The underlies Regulation ( EEC) 2081/1992 was in 2006 (Council Regulation ( EC) No 510/ 2006) and 2012 ( Regulation (EU ) No 1151 /2012) then modifed again and expanded. Agri-food products which have been registered under Regulation (EU ) No 1151 /2012, Article 13 of this Regulation are in accordance with legally protected from any misuse of the name or imitation, even if the correct origin is indicated or if the appellation in translated form or is accompanied by additions such as' after ... he kind "or" type ".

As part of the amendments to Regulation changes No 1898/2006 has been set new graphical symbols or logos for EU-wide protected designations of origin means in Annex V to Regulation ( EC), but which could initially be used only voluntarily. With the modification in the year 2012, these characters are now but mandatory.

Nation-state models for this are, for example, the AOC label in Switzerland and France, the DOP, DOC and DOCG seal in Italy or the DAC seal in Austria. The first international precursor was 1951, the Convention of Stresa, the first international agreement on cheese names of the seven countries Austria, Denmark, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland participated.

There are two different stages in the award of the EU protected designations of origin.

Protected Designation of Origin (PDO, Eng. PDO )

The protected Ursprungsbezeichnungbesagt that the production, processing and manufacturing of a product in a given geographical area using recognized and established procedures. This includes for example the Parma ham, which has to be cut according to recent judgments even in the Parma region. Products with protected designation of origin, for example, feta and manouri cheese from Greece, all Italian DOP DOP cheese and other products, AOC products such as cheese, olives, ham, sausages and even some regional bread varieties.

In the sixth part of the Trademark Act, the protection of geographical indications is regulated, which is divided into three sections. Section 1 contains the general safety regulations (§ § 126-129 ). Section 2 sets out rules for the implementation of Regulation ( EC) 510/2006 ( § § 130-136 ). The third section contains provisions on the competence to issue regulations in the interest of protection of individual geographical indications, as well as procedural rules in respect of applications and appeals under Regulation ( EC) 510/2006 laying down detailed rules for the application of this Regulation (§ § 137-139 ). Other rules relating to the protection of geographical indications, such as criminal and administrative fines are to be found in Part 8 of the Trademark Act (§ § 143-151 ) .. An adaptation of trademark law in force since 2012 with Regulation (EU ) 1151 / 2012 is currently pending.
