Colombia has registere...IG Europe - Colombia + Peru<br />Colombia has registered 3 national DOs in its country: cafe de Colombia, 'Chulupa del Huila’ and ‘Artesanía de Guacamayas’.<br />Peru has registered only 4 national ones in its own country, namely ‘Pisco’ , ‘maíz gigante blanco del Cuzco’, ‘Cerámica de Chulucanas’ and ‘pallar de Ica’.<br /><br />Note:<br />*Cafe de Colombia has already being registered in the EU(firt third country to do so).<br />*Artesanias de Guacamayas and ceramica de Chulucanas cannot be registered as DO in the EU because they are not foodstuff and/or wine/spirit because they are atisans products.<br /><br />The question is: what is to be negotiated? Peru and Colombia only have 4 DOs and EU has more than 1200 IGs. Moreover, if we check the draft on the Agreement, there are more than 200 products from the EU and none from the Andean countries (I guess this is sorted by registering them as DO here in the EU).<br /><br />However, there is something that I noticed. Peru and Colombia do not recognise the figure of IG and TSG, as such (the same concept as in EU) but only DO and in the Draft one can see that the list of EU products includes all of the above(IG, DO and TSG).<br />I wonder: is this an imposicion or a negotiation? Why they have to accept concepts that they do not have and products that as such will not be protected under their legilsation? I think that it would be the same as if the EU accepts artensans DO - won't you think?<br /><br />More info can be found in a seminar that I recently gave in Alicante...http://iptango.blogspot.com/2010/05/materiales-seminario-la-propiedad.htmlPatricia Covarrubiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582697391205609361noreply@blogger.com
