About Protected Geographical Food names
European Union first adopted the system for the protection of geographical indications and the designations of origin of agricultural products and foodstuffs. While in this regulation have been added and other quality schemes such as optional quality terms “mountain product”, “product of island farming” etc. This integrated certification commercial plan was established to promote easily products with special characteristics. On the other hand consumers are able to buy quality products with guarantees for the production, processing and geographic origin.
