The Council today adopted decisions on the signature of the agreement
between the European Union and the government of the People's Republic
of China on geographical indications (GIs).This is the first significant bilateral trade agreement signed between the EU and China.
It will ensure that 100 EU agri-food GIs ("Geographical Indications") such as Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, Languedoc wine, Polska Wódka or Elia Kalamatas get protection on the Chinese market. Likewise, 100 Chinese products will be protected in the EU, thereby ensuring mutual respect of the best of both agricultural traditions.
