A common mistake made about #GeographicalIndications is a confusion about what is protected. It's only the name. Not the product. And it's no more of a monopoly than for all-American 🇺🇲 Coca Cola™️ in a market that has Pepsi and countless other colas.

This is, of course, hogwash. It’s about the exclusivity of certain names. US cheese can be sold, but not if you mislabel it.

Former EU trade diplomate John Clarke on how the EU can respond to US attempts to block its food name protection strategy as Brussels seeks trade agreements with Malaysia and other #ASEAN countries #geographicalindications

COMMENT: Despatches from the War on Terroir - Borderlex - European trade policy
The recent attempt by the United States to prevent its trade partners from accepting the EU's list of geographical indications could yet jeopardise ongoing free trade negotiations between ASEAN and Brussels. But there may be a solution at hand which both protects the EU's iconic food brands and deflects Washington's attempts at coercion.
